About Envalior
Envalior is a global manufacturer of engineering plastics, formed in 2023 through the merger of DSM Engineering Materials and LANXESS High Performance Materials (joint venture LANXESS 40% / Advent 60%). The portfolio comprises high-performance and specialty polymers such as PA6, PA66, PA46, PBT, PPS, TPC, PET, PA4T and the 70% bio-based PA410 (EcoPaXX) as well as thermoplastic composites (Tepex). Through a high degree of vertical integration, Envalior also produces relevant precursors and resins in addition to the compounds, ensuring raw material quality and supply stability. In addition to material manufacturing, the company offers 360 Innovation Services: Material Science, Virtual Engineering (CAE simulation), Processing, Testing & Analysis, Compliance as well as Sustainability Services including Life Cycle Assessment. With around 4,000 employees, approximately 3 billion euros in revenue and 30 production and R&D sites worldwide, Envalior serves industries such as Automotive, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Construction, Medical Technology and Industrial Equipment. The German headquarters is located in Düsseldorf; production and R&D sites in Europe include Dormagen, Uerdingen, Brilon, Hamm, Geleen and Emmen.
