Coastal Chemical Co.

Coastal Chemical Co.

Coastal Chemical was founded in 1958 by Revis Sirmon in Abbeville, Louisiana. The company was acquired by Holland Chemical International (HCI) in 1999, and HCI was itself acquired by Brenntag in 2006, making Coastal Chemical a Brenntag Group company. The firm later acquired Tech Management and continues to operate under the Coastal Chemical name. The company distributes process chemicals — including acid gas removal agents, foam control products, glycols, methanol, and lubricants — serving drilling rigs, compressors, gas plants, refineries, and petrochemical plants. Its N-SPEC division offers pipeline cleaning services, flaring, hydrostatic testing, and project management for midstream operators. The asset base includes supplier partnerships leveraging Brenntag's global network. Coastal Chemical operates from three US locations: executive sales in Houston, corporate accounting in Abbeville, and N-SPEC services in Broussard, Louisiana. The firm employs professionals across these offices but does not disclose total headcount. No additional investment vehicles or philanthropic foundations have been identified. As a Brenntag Group subsidiary, Coastal Chemical benefits from the scale of the world's largest chemical distributor while operating with a focused US oil-and-gas mandate. The firm's structure as an operating company — not an investment vehicle — distinguishes it from family-office or asset-manager peers in the Altss database.
