The Evonik Herne site serves as a leader in sustainable chemical production, and as a vital employer and economic engine for the town of Herne, home to approximately 170,000 residents. Established in 1936 by Friedrich Krupp for tar, gasoline, and paraffin production, this site has transformed into a modern chemical facility specializing in coatings and additives. The primary focus at Herne is the production of isophorone and its derivatives, essential raw materials for the coatings industry. Our VESTAMIN® crosslinkers are integral to heavy-duty corrosion protection systems, solvent-free industrial floor coatings, and high-performance composites, including those used in wind turbine rotor blades. Additionally, VESTASOL® is used to create vibrant coatings and printing inks.
At Evonik Crosslinkers, our Herne site exemplifies our dedication to sustainability through initiatives like the Technical Options for Thermal Energy Recovery (TORTE) project, which captures industrial waste heat to provide heating for 1,000 homes, saving around 1,750 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. We also produce renewable materials, such as our eCO grades, and achieved ISCC Plus certification for our sites, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable practices and a circular economy.
