Bradley Cook Appointed EVP to Lead Inolex's Global Manufacturing Expansion

PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 21, 2025 — Inolex welcomes Bradley Cook as its new Executive Vice President, Global Head of Manufacturing. Cook will lead all manufacturing operations as the company looks to scale up its sustainable ingredient technologies through a network of production sites around the world.

Cook will oversee Inolex’s flagship US manufacturing site in Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as manufacturing in France, Korea, India, and Brazil. Over the past year, Inolex has expanded its footprint with commercial hubs in India and Korea, part of a larger strategic vision to be closer to customers and deliver a more sustainable value chain in these regions.

"We have deep expertise with our products. We are intimately involved in the sourcing of raw materials with growers and partners, we understand the molecules and the science behind our technologies, and we have the expertise to make what we design,” says Art Knox, Inolex President.

“Bradley brings tremendous momentum to optimize and broaden our global manufacturing capabilities, to enhance the safety, quality, and sustainability of operations, and to deliver on the needs of customers in all markets we serve.”

Cook has an extensive career in the specialty chemicals industry focusing on engineering, supply chain, and global manufacturing strategy.

He also served on Croda’s North American Leadership Board and its Global Life Sciences Board.

“We are making significant investments in manufacturing with an eye on how the efficiency of our operations directly contributes to reducing product carbon footprint,” says Knox.
