Midland MI materials science (NYSE: DOW) ~$44.6B FY2024 revenue; world's largest polyethylene producer, Path2Zero net-zero ethylene Alberta, DowDuPont spinoff 2019, competing with LyondellBasell and BASF.
Dow Inc. is a Midland, Michigan-based global materials science company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: DOW) as a Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Materials component — producing performance materials and coatings (epoxy resins, acrylics, polyurethane systems), industrial intermediates and infrastructure (ethylene oxide, propylene glycol, polyurethanes), and packaging and specialty plastics (polyethylene resins for flexible packaging, agricultural films, and wire/cable jacketing) through approximately 35,000 employees in 31 countries. Dow Inc. was spun off from DowDuPont in April 2019 — one segment of the three-way DowDuPont breakup (Dow materials science, DuPont specialty products, Corteva agriculture) — concentrating Dow on commodity and specialty chemicals where scale and feedstock integration create structural cost advantages over less-integrated competitors. In fiscal year 2024, Dow reported revenues of approximately $44.6 billion, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $5.4 billion — reflecting the materials science cycle's pressure from elevated natural gas and naphtha feedstock costs (European gas prices remaining elevated versus pre-2022 levels), weak downstream demand in construction (polyurethane insulation), automotive (coatings and sealants), and consumer packaging (flexible films). CEO Jim Fitterling leads Dow's strategic transformation toward circularity and carbon neutralization: the Path2Zero program (building the world's first net-zero integrated ethylene cracker in Alberta, Canada — Fort Saskatchewan Decarbonization project — converting existing ethylene production to hydrogen-fired crackers and carbon capture by 2030) positions Dow for the premium pricing that brand owners (Unilever, P&G, Nestlé) will pay for demonstrated low-carbon polyethylene resin to meet their Scope 3 emissions commitments.
Mountain View construction layout robot (FieldPrinter 2) at 10K-15K sq ft/day, 10x manual speed with 1/16" accuracy; $69.5M total printing 100M+ sq ft for DPR/Turner/Skanska competing with Trimble for BIM-to-field layout automation.
Dusty Robotics is a Mountain View, California-based construction robotics company — backed with $69.5 million in total funding from Root Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, GRIDS Capital, and Cantos — providing general contractors and construction teams with the FieldPrint Platform: a BIM-to-field robotic layout solution that uses the FieldPrinter robot to print precise floor markings from digital building models, replacing the manual chalk-line and tape-measure layout process that construction crews use to mark where walls, electrical, plumbing, and structural elements will be built. The FieldPrinter 2 (launched January 2024) lays out 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator at 1/16 inch accuracy — approximately 10x faster than manual layout methods — and has printed over 100 million square feet across thousands of projects for customers including DPR, Turner, and Skanska. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 in the robotics category. Founded in 2018.
