Darling Ingredients Makes Strategic Move to NYSE Texas, Expanding Market Presence in Dallas Hub

Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE: DAR), the global leader in converting food waste into sustainable products and renewable energy generation, has unveiled a dual listing strategy by joining NYSE Texas, the newly launched electronic equities exchange headquartered in Dallas. The Irving, TX-based company will maintain its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange while simultaneously trading under the “DAR” ticker on NYSE Texas.

A Milestone for Sustainability Leadership

The decision to list on NYSE Texas represents more than a procedural market move for Darling Ingredients. As a founding member of the exchange, the company signals its alignment with innovation-driven capital markets in the heart of Texas’s thriving business ecosystem. This expansion positions the firm to tap into emerging investment opportunities and broaden its institutional and retail investor base.

For NYSE Group leadership, the listing underscores the significance of sustainability-focused enterprises in modern markets. Darling Ingredients’ multi-decade track record of transforming agricultural by-products into valuable materials demonstrates the commercial viability of circular economy models.

Scale and Scope of Operations

The Irving, Texas company operates an extensive global footprint that underscores its market dominance. With over 260 facilities spanning more than 15 countries, Darling Ingredients processes approximately 15% of the world’s animal agricultural by-products—a staggering figure that highlights its supply chain integration.

The company’s production capabilities are equally impressive: it manufactures roughly 30% of the global collagen market, encompassing both gelatin and hydrolyzed collagen products. Beyond these core business segments, Darling Ingredients ranks among the world’s largest renewable energy producers, converting waste streams into clean power.

Long-Term Value Creation in Evolving Markets

Management views this NYSE Texas listing as part of a broader growth strategy that capitalizes on changing capital market dynamics. The dual-listing approach allows Darling Ingredients to maintain institutional credibility on the traditional New York Stock Exchange while accessing the technological innovations and investor base that NYSE Texas brings to the market.

Since its founding as a Chicago-based rendering company over 140 years ago, Darling Ingredients has continuously evolved its business model. Today, it transforms materials from animal agriculture and food production sectors into ingredients that support human nutrition, animal feed, crop enhancement, and renewable fuel generation.
