Koch Industries Revenue and Competitors

Perhaps the best way to understand Koch Industries is to view it as a collection of "capabilities" continually searching for new ways to create value - for customers, and for the many communities in which Koch companies operate and serve. Chief among these capabilities, developed over six decades of starting and managing businesses cost-effectively, are trading, operations excellence and investments. Today, Koch Industries owns a diverse group of companies that exercise these capabilities on a global scale in core industries such as trading, petroleum, asphalt, natural gas, gas liquids, chemicals, plastics and fibers, chemical technology equipment, minerals, fertilizers, ranching, securities, and finance, as well as in other ventures and investments. Characterizing Koch Industries as a set of companies in a quest for value creation opportunities represents only one important aspect of the equation. The other element is a steadfast commitment to a management philosophy devoted to "principled entrepreneurship™" and the belief that doing well by doing good are merely different sides of the same coin.
