How We Do Business
At Koch, we invest and offer capital solutions where our capabilities can create virtuous cycles of mutual benefit, rather than being defined by industries or solely focusing on market share. This growth model, supported by our investment companies, has enabled us to expand across various business sectors over the last 25 years. We apply our principled approach to existing businesses and capabilities along with new opportunities. Every investment is evaluated not only by its economic potential but by the capabilities we can bring to help it transform – and how it, in turn, can help our existing Koch companies transform. Through our Koch Labs® network, which acts as a microeconomy, and other knowledge sharing communities, we connect expertise to accelerate progress. This approach helps ensure each company continues to grow, evolve and create long-term value.
Koch Sponsors WSU Tech STEM Camps
wo of these camps, Girls Rock Science and Grit and Gears , engaged nearly 350 Wichita-area third through eighth graders. The camps provided hands-on experience with science concepts and real-world skills, using WSU Tech’s state-of-the-art simulation technologies and precision tools. “We're trying to inspire future STEM professionals,” said Paige Lauer, assistant director of K-8 STEM at WSU Tech. “ Oftentimes , kids decide what they don't want to do at a really young age. The goal is to get kids thinking now about what they might want to do in the future.” Camp activities went beyond the limits of the traditional classroom, giving students hands-on experience with high-demand skills, such as robotics, aerospace engineering, metalworking, emergency medical services and more. “It’s really fun,” said Emma, a middle school camper who has been going to Girls Rock Science since the third grade. “It definitely showed me a lot more jobs that are out in the world that I didn’t know about.”

Koch Companies Earn Multiple EPA Top Projects
Top Project – Spinning Up Efficiency ⚙️ Electronic connector maker Molex is in the process of upgrading the air handling units (AHUs) at one of its sites from higher energy-intensive direct current (DC) fans to more efficient electronically commutated (EC) fans . EC fans produce less heat waste, run cooler for a longer fan lifespan, require less maintenance and can be speed-adjusted to meet real-time demands. This conversion has generated savings of 2 million kWh of electricity, which should save 3 million kWh annually once all fans have been replaced — reducing the system’s energy consumption by 30% .
