About CP Kelco
Unlocking Nature-Powered Success^®
We’re a company of nature-based ingredient enthusiasts, strong collaborators, and problem-solving big thinkers. Quality and consistency are at the core of our business. Some may view that as a tall order, but it’s a standard we have kept for approximately 90 years.

But our interests don’t stop at ingredients. We are devoted to customer service and community relationships. We are proud to have been operating as a partner to the Okmulgee community for nearly 50 years.
CP Kelco takes community concerns seriously and regrets any inconvenience that operating the Okmulgee plant has caused. We are working diligently to address your concerns, including assessing ways to mitigate sound levels during operation and partnering with an acoustic engineering firm to implement a viable long-term solution. We thank our neighbors for their patience and the opportunity to remain a part of the Okmulgee community.

Please refer to the “Plant Updates” section for updates regarding the mitigation progress. Even if you don’t see a recent update, please know we are working hard to resolve the concerns and will endeavor to update you on actions that are significant.
Plant Updates

As part of our actions to determine a wholistic solution to address noise from our facility, an equipment modification intended to reduce the sound was made during the week of May 6. This proved ineffective, and an increase in sound levels has been noticed by some residents and our employees. In response, we are investigating this change and will be halting operation of the equipment during the evening hours until further notice as we continue to investigate and implement sound mitigation measures.
