Evonik has been a committed partner to Singapore since 1969, when we set up our first office. Activities here have since evolved from only sales activities to include production and research.
Today, with world-scale production complexes and Innovation hub in the country, we are constantly stepping up our presence to strengthen the competitiveness of our customers through research and applications.
Located in Tuas are our manufacturing facilities for Epoxy Curing Agent, Ink & Hotmelt Resin and Polyurethane Catalyst Blends, and another for catalyst recovery. The catalyst recovery center contributes to Evonik's focus on sustainability and the transition to a circular economy through activities in the field of desulfurization catalyst rejuvenation, sulfur recovery catalysts and alumina based purification adsorbents.
Other sustainability driven activities include our DL-methionine complexes on Jurong Island. The plants produce MetAMINO®, the essential amino acid DL-methionine used in livestock production to feed animals healthily, efficiently, and sustainably. With the completion of plant expansion and upgrade in 2024, the methionine complexes in Singapore have been enhanced to reduce product carbon footprint. The company will now supply about 340,000 metric tons of MetAMINO® to businesses worldwide.
