Kronos Worldwide (NYSE: KRO; Dallas, Texas; Delaware-incorporated) produces rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment for coatings, plastics, paper and other uses. It runs six TiO2 plants: Leverkusen and Nordenham (DE), Langerbrugge (BE), Fredrikstad (NO), Varennes (CA), and Lake Charles, Louisiana (US).
FY2025 10-K: Valhi, Inc. held ~50% and a wholly-owned NL Industries subsidiary ~31% of Kronos common stock at 2025-12-31. Valhi itself owned ~83% of NL Industries, and a wholly-owned Contran Corporation subsidiary held ~91% of Valhi; Contran voting stock is majority-held by Lisa K. Simmons and family. No Valhi, NL Industries or Contran dossier exists in this corpus, so parent_slug is intentionally left unset.
Named counterparties identified by open-source research and written only where a primary source states the relationship — never inferred from sector or co-mention. 1 supplier. This is a partial view: it covers the relationships we could evidence, not the company's full supply base.
10-K raw materials disclosure: supplies chloride-process grade slag and upgraded slag feedstock to Kronos's chloride-process TiO2 plants under contracts that auto-renew every one to two years; the filing does not disclose a volume or dollar share.
Scope. Absence of a counterparty here is not evidence that none exists — most commercial sourcing is confidential and never becomes public. Rows without a share figure mean no share was disclosed, not that the relationship is small.
Another tracked dossier names this company as a counterparty in its own sourced disclosure — this platform never wrote these rows on this company's own page, they are read here inverted from the dossier that disclosed them. This is a partial view: 982 additional named-counterparty rows across the corpus could not be matched to a tracked dossier by name at all (mostly non-Latin legal names), so the true count is higher than what renders here.
Kronos FY2025 10-K, Raw materials: 'We purchase feedstock for our chloride process TiO2 from the following primary suppliers for volumes for delivery extending, in some cases, through 2028' -- table lists 'Iluka Resources Limited | Rutile ore | Renewal terms upon negotiation' alongside Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium (slag). No tonnage or value is given. Iluka's rutile is mined and separated in Australia (Jacinth-Ambrosia SA, Cataby WA, Balranald NSW; Narngulu WA separation). Kronos runs chloride plants in Leverkusen (DE), Langerbrugge (BE), Varennes (CA) and Lake Charles (US, JV); the filing does not say which plant receives Iluka ore, so destination is unstated. Primary document kro-20251231x10k.htm returns 403 to automated fetchers as of 2026-10-03; filing index above lists and links the same document.
Scope. This section is inverted evidence: each linked dossier wrote the original row about itself, describing its own relationship to this company. It is never a claim this company itself disclosed. Absence here is not evidence of no relationship — most of the corpus has no named-counterparty block at all yet.
This company sits on the supply side for 1 of its 1 materials — a restriction on those is a tailwind, not a headwind.
