Ascent Industries Co. (NASDAQ: ACNT) today announced that it has secured a significant new business program expected to generate more than $10 million in incremental annualized revenue. This win represents approximately 15% growth over Ascent’s trailing twelve-month revenue, with margins anticipated to exceed current company averages over the same period.

This commercial growth underscores the strength of Ascent’s Chemicals-as-a-Service (CaaS) business model, an agile, customer-centric platform designed to simplify customers’ value chains and scale efficiently across the company’s integrated manufacturing network.

“This win showcases the power of our CaaS model, a platform that is high-mix and built to scale efficiently,” said Bryan Kitchen, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Customers choose Ascent because we move fast, reduce complexity, and deliver reliable performance at every turn.”

Kitchen added, “This program is a clear demonstration of the operating leverage embedded in our platform. As volumes ramp and utilization increases, initiatives like this drive meaningful margin expansion and enhance earnings quality as we head into 2026.”

With production and shipments already in motion, the program is on track to achieve full run-rate in the first quarter of 2026.
