Röhm to continue as an independent company
Röhm GmbH successfully completed the carve-out from Evonik Industries. Evonik Industries’ Methacrylate Verbund is thus transferred to its new owner, Advent International, as an independent company.
With revenues of EUR 1.9 billion (2018 figures) and innovative products, the company is one of the global market leaders in methacrylate chemicals. With the implementation of an innovative production technology for methyl methacrylate, Röhm GmbH is also targeting global technology leadership. The company has around 3,900 employees worldwide across 15 production sites in Germany (Worms, Darmstadt, Weiterstadt, Wesseling, Hanau), China, the USA, Russia, and South Africa.
A wide product range for diverse applications
Röhm GmbH’s product portfolio includes acrylic glass which is used in cars, airplane windows, screens or displays, as building glazing, noise protection, and in the advertising industry. The indispensable precursor for it is methyl methacrylate. It is also used for the production of varnishes and paints, floor coatings, adhesives, and other materials, including dental products. Other examples of Röhm’s product range are methacrylate resins for the manufacture of industry floors and road markings, as well as cyanide for the leaching of precious metals in the mining industry.
