Leading Beyond Chemistry

Evonik is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies.

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.

The company is active in more than 100 countries around theworld and generated sales of €15.3 billion and an operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) of €1.66 billion in 2023. Evonik goes far beyond chemistry to create innovative, profitable and sustainable solutions for customers. About 32,000 employees work together for a common purpose: We want to improve life, today and tomorrow.

History

Evonik's roots: The chemist Theodor Goldschmidt founded the company “Chemische Fabrik Th. Goldschmidt” in Berlin 170 years ago in 1847. In 1889/1890, the company then relocated to Essen, where it laid the foundations for today’s Goldschmidtstrasse site.
