.st0{fill:#0099D8;} Menu Challenge accepted. It’s in our DNA. Food. Shelter. Clothing. Transportation. All are vital to our way of life. And each also presents its share of challenges. At Koch we embrace those challenges — by challenging ourselves and each other to explore new ways that make life even better. 16 Everyday Challenges We Take On. 1 Fueling The Journey Gasoline. Jet fuel. Diesel. Biofuels. We got our start by mastering the challenges of refining quality, dependable fuels to power life’s journey. Today we continue setting industry standards and environmental best practices for how it’s done. Challenge: Renewable Fuels 2 Digital Living From buttons on your home appliances to circuitry in your smart phone to safety sensors in your car to copper and optical data networks at the office, our electronic components answer the challenge of staying reliably connected wherever you go. 3 Glass That Performs Glass invites the world inside. Yet keeps the elements out. You’ll find the modern, high-performance glass we make in everything from homes, to cars, to appliances, to the tallest building in the world. 4 Hungry Humans For farmers, feeding a hungry planet is no small challenge. At Koch Agronomic Services, we harness science to create the powerful, next-generation plant nutrients that food producers require to keep crops growing strong. Challenge: Food For All 5 Smart Flooring Our STAINMASTER® carpet revolutionized the carpet industry. And today, the STAINMASTER® brand continues to be a leader in home comfort and dependability by rolling out new products in carpet, tile, grout and vinyl. 6 Smarter Buildings Our Transcend® network-connected lighting solutions do more than just save energy. They also meet the challenge of providing the right kind of light at the right moment – and power a range of other applications to improve the user experience. 7 Apparel That Works From rugged work clothes to sexy underthings, garments made with our fibers and fabrics stretch and recover, wick away perspiration to help keep you cool and dry, and even provide warmth and comfort. Chances are, garments made with our LYCRA®, COOLMAX®, THERMOLITE® or CORDURA® brands are already in your wardrobe. Challenge: Next-generation fabrics 8 Steadfast Shelter Next-generation building products: plywood, gypsum wallboard, fiberglass sheathing, and more. Our Georgia-Pacific building products have a reputation for quality that’s as solid as the buildings and houses they create. 9 Raising The Steaks Speaking of helping feed the world, our 460,000 acres of ranchland support more than 12,000 head of cattle including breeds renowned for their tender tastiness. Go ahead. Unleash your inner carnivore. 10 Improving Fuel Economy In the constant challenge to create more efficient vehicles, we integrate aerodynamic systems into automotive grilles to boost efficiency — providing up to 20% weight savings and up to 30% better aero performance. Challenge: Driving innovation 11 Medical Technology From life-saving surgical instruments to life-sustaining insulin infusion pumps, we create and deliver critical components for leading-edge medical devices that countless lives depend on in the most challenging of circumstances. 12 Cleaner Restrooms Public health is a big challenge. But our touchless enMotion® automated towel dispensers rise to the occasion. They lower the risk of cross-contamination and help improve hygiene — while reducing towel usage by up to 30 percent. 13 Filtration for a Better Future From the reclamation of industrial chemicals and paint to ensuring the purity and quality of beverages like milk, wine, fruit juice and water, we lead the industry in state-of-the-art filtration technology that creates value in many important applications. Challenge: Clean Drinking Water 14 Quality Time Together The dinner table is the healthy hub of family life. But gathering everyone around it for mealtime can be a challenge. Dixie® paper products help make it a little easier — letting you linger a little longer and focus on what matters. 15 The Road Ahead Rubber, meet road. Or, more technically, meet our efficient and reliable supply of asphalt products that are focused on safe, durable and environmentally responsible performance. But you can still just call it ”road“ if you like. 16 A Good Night’s Sleep After a challenging day, nothing feels better than the comfort of your bed.
