Holds majority-owned CompX, which makes security and marine components, and a minority Kronos stake tied to titanium dioxide pigments. The structure is Valhi-controlled, service-supported through Contran, and still shaped by legacy lead-pigment and environmental obligations.
Consolidated revenue comes through majority-owned CompX, which makes engineered components for security products and recreational marine hardware. Kronos adds economic exposure to titanium dioxide pigments through a minority stake rather than a consolidated operating segment.
Geography follows the holdings: CompX sells components into varied industrial and consumer applications, while Kronos production is rooted in North America and Europe. The parent has no direct employees; subsidiaries and Contran intercorporate services carry day-to-day functions.
Valhi control, overlapping related-company management, and legacy lead-pigment litigation shape the public-company profile. Environmental remediation, former product-liability claims, and titanium-dioxide regulation remain structural dependencies.
