Antaria was first formed in 1997 to commercialise advanced materials technology originally developed at the University of Western Australia.

The Company’s name change to Antaria Limited (effective 1 July 2008) reflects the Company’s expansion from the original research based foundations to the development of a broader range of advanced materials opportunities. Antaria’s core skills now include the development, scaling-up, manufacturing and marketing of innovative products based on a range of proprietary advanced material technologies and manufacturing processes.

Antaria focuses on selected high growth market segments, for example: cosmetics, fuel additives, pigments, and plastic additives. Product selling is performed via both a network of specialists distributors around the world, and strategic distribution alliances such as those with Dow Amerchol and Energenics. Those sales channels are supported by dedicated business development specialists and a strong technical service team. This approach successfully combines world-leadership industry expertise with focused geographical penetration for each targeted end-use.

Antaria's ordinary shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange Limited (ASX) under the symbol “ANO".
