Effective January 1, 2025, Evonik Oil Additives Canada Inc. has merged into the legal entity Evonik Canada Inc. The legal entity change will not have any effect on the production of oil additives at Evonik’s Morrisburg, Ontario, site.

Evonik, one of the world's leading specialty chemicals companies, has produced oil additives for several decades at its Morrisburg plant. Currently, 32 employees make products that improve the fuel economy and flow efficiency of automotive lubricants in passenger cars and commercial vehicles, as well as the energy efficiency and productivity of industrial lubricants in construction, mining, agricultural, and manufacturing equipment.

Evonik has been a long-time member of the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada’s (CIAC) Responsible Care® initiative which advocates for safe, responsible, and sustainable chemical manufacturing. Started in Canada, the U.N.-recognized sustainability initiative is now practiced in more than 70 countries and by almost all of the 100 largest chemical producers in the world.

“Responsible Care covers all aspects of our business, employees, community, and environment,” says Evonik Canada President Doug Woods. “We are very proud of our steadfast commitment to the environment, the health and safety of our employees, and to the Morrisburg community.”
