Specialty chemical supplier for personal care, food, and industrial markets
Vantage manufactures performance chemicals and oleochemicals derived from sustainable oils and fats, serving personal care, food, agriculture, and industrial sectors. The company's tech stack reflects a manufacturing-operations hybrid: SAP and Epicor for supply chain and production, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI for analytics, plus LIMS and FT-IR for lab workflows. Current hiring is sales-heavy (10 roles), driven by commercial challenges visible in their active projects—pricing-gap analysis, quote turnaround, and conversion improvement—suggesting margin and sales-velocity constraints.
