- What Evonik core chemistries are expanding around the world?
- What markets are being addressed in North America?
Essen, Germany-based Evonik Industries AG is one of the worlds top specialty chemicals companies. Around 80 percent of sales come from market-leading positions. Evonik concentrates on health, nutrition, resource efficiency and globalization. With more than €12.5 billion in sales in 2012, Evonik has a €6 billion investment program to grow its specialty chemicals businesses.
The companys products are present in everyday items that support modern life, from superabsorbent materials that keep babies and parents happier, to structural foams that allow aircraft to fly lighter. Cars consume less fuel thanks to tires that are made more fuel efficient by Evonik silica and biofuels enabled by Evonik catalysts. Living healthier lives is aided by pharmaceutical polymers from Evonik that protect tablets and capsules as they pass through our bodies, precisely controlling when and where a drug is released.
Among its key initiatives, Evonik Corporation created the Evonik Oil & Gas Group to boost the resource-efficiency of products for the oil and gas industries. Evonik Industries also began an engineering study for a new multimillion dollar methyl methacrylate (MMA) plant at its Mobile, Ala., site.
Join us on September 10 to learn more about Evoniks specialty chemicals portfolio and its investments for growth.
