Huntsman Corp. is the largest privately held chemical manufacturer in North America. In addition to chemicals, Huntsman also makes plastics and packaging. Founded by CEO Jon Huntsman, the company began in 1970 as Huntsman Container Corporation. In the 1980s, Jon Huntsman established Huntsman Chemical Corporation, expanding into the chemical and detergent industries. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Huntsman also grew by acquiring other chemical producers such as those of Hoechst Celanese and General Electric Plastics Company. The company's most substantial expansion came into 1994 with the acquisition of Texaco Chemical Company, which doubled the size of Huntsman. Huntsman Corp.'s overall revenues total about $8 billion and the company has around 16,000 workers with facilities in 34 countries.
