Legacy & Resilience

Founded in 1838 by Oliver Loveland, Welch, Holme & Clark began as a supplier to the building industry during one of America’s

most challenging economic periods. Over nearly two centuries, we’ve weathered,

• Economic panics and depressions

• The Civil War

• Two World Wars

• Countless market shifts and industrial revolutions

Through it all, we’ve remained steadfast—adapting, evolving, and growing stronger with each challenge.

Originally rooted in the building trade, we pivoted in the late 19th century to serve the soap and personal care industries,

becoming a trusted supplier of essential raw materials. By the early 1900s, our portfolio had expanded to support:

• Food and flavor manufacturers

• Personal care and cosmetic formulators

• Industrial and specialty product developers

Today, over 185 years after our establishment, we continue to serve diverse industries with a curated portfolio of oils and fats. With technical precision and quality-assured ingredients, our deep regulatory expertise, and a legacy of resilience and partnership continue to create a legacy of trust.

From food and personal care to specialty industries, industrial applications and pharmaceutical, WHC is delivering products aligned with today’s rigorous regulatory standards.

• Products tested and validated to meet U.S.P., F.C.C., A.O.C.S., A.S.T.M. specifications
