Pioneer

Evonik is one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals and active in more than 100 countries around the world. We go far beyond chemistry to create innovative, profitable and sustainable solutions for our customers. We may not manufacture tires, mattresses, medications, or animal feeds, but Evonik is part of all of those products –and many more. While we often contribute only small amounts of material, those contributions are precisely what make the difference. That's because Evonik products make tires fuel-efficient, mattresses more elastic, medications more effective, and animal feeds healthier. That’s what specialty chemicals are all about. And when it comes to specialty chemicals, we're among the best in the world.

Grouped in three segments, Nutrition & Care, Performance Materials and Resource Efficiency, we constantly develop and expand our capabilities to meet our customers’ expectations. Global service functions provide standardized Group-wide business support. The Corporate Center assists the Executive Board in its strategic management activities and its administration.

Evonik—one of the world’s most innovative companies. That is the vision that guides our research and development. Innovation is a key driver for specialty chemicals. New products and solutions secure profitable growth for Evonik. They open up new business areas and strengthen our leading market and technology positions.

Evonik can look back on a colorful history. The historic roots of Evonik and its preceding companies – among them famous names like Degussa AG, Hüls AG, Goldschmidt AG, Röhm GmbH, and Stockhausen GmbH – date back to the first half of the 19th century and have a proven track record in the chemical industry.

Evonik breathes life into markets and industries. With our innovative products and solutions, we’re already shaping tomorrow’s markets. Evonik products help to make our modern lives a little more comfortable, healthier, and more sustainable every day.
