Market Position/ History

In 2007, the RAG Group was divided into two entities: RAG Aktiengesellschaft, Herne (Germany), which was in charge of hard coal mining and processing activities, and Evonik Industries AG, Essen (Germany), an industrial firm with a strong concentration on specialty chemicals. RAG-Stiftung was the only stakeholder in both firms. The new structure took into account the two firms' distinct business activities and future prospects. Evonik has deliberately expanded throughout the years by acquiring firms in the sectors of silicas, specialty polymers, and medical technology. To boost its market position, the corporation has placed an increased emphasis on sustainability, digitization, and innovation. Nowadays, Evonik is one of the world's top specialty chemicals firms, recognized for producing high-performance materials for a variety of sectors such as chemicals, automotive, healthcare, and electronics. The corporation continues to develop and expand in areas such as renewable energy and biotechnology.

Evonik expands SPHERILEX family: new silica now available for deep-matte wood coatings

Evonik has introduced a new product that uses its well-proven SPHERILEX technology. Spherical silica EXP 0002-1 is ideal for aqueous, deep-matte, and silk-gloss wood treatments in addition to architectural paints due to its very tiny particle size. Customers want their parquet flooring, kitchen countertops, or furniture to feel smooth and lovely while showcasing the fine grain of the wood without any glossy appearance. This is part of a broader trend toward natural aesthetics and sustainability in wood surfaces. The surface's durability and resistance to mechanical stress are equally desirable.
