Hydrite Named Winner of 2025 Iowa Top Workplaces Award

WATERLOO, Iowa, Sept. 29, 2025 — Hydrite®, an integrated manufacturer and supplier of chemicals and related services, has been recognized as a 2025 Top Workplaces award winner by the Des Moines Register for creating high employee experience and exceptional workplaces.

Based on a survey conducted throughout Iowa, only 50 companies with 150 to 499 employees are awarded this recognition. Employee feedback, gathered through a third-party engagement survey, determines the top achievers for that year. The survey assesses an organization using several factors, including 25 questions that measure the value an employer contributes not only to an employee's career but also their lives and communities outside of the workplace.

Hydrite CEO Kevin Honkamp commented, "At Hydrite, people are one of our Five Pillars, and this recognition is a testament to the dedication and excellence of every employee across all our locations. For nearly a century, our employees have driven excellence and made a difference in their communities. A special shoutout to our Waterloo team for their outstanding contributions! As we near our 100-year milestone, we're proud of the legacy our people continue to build."

Hydrite has developed a reputation within the industry for providing the distinct combination of excellence in chemical manufacturing and distribution with the most comprehensive level of technical expertise available and stands by their core values and expectations which focus on Integrity, Innovation, Quality, People, and Responsible Growth.
