Market Position/ History

Syensqo, formed in 2023 through the separation of Solvay, represents a new chapter for the company, focusing on growth, innovation, and sustainability. This transition is rooted in a long history of technological advancement, such as Solvay’s invention of the soda ash production process in 1863, its early innovations in social welfare in the late 19th century, and pioneering contributions to materials science with breakthroughs like PEEK and PSU. Over the years, Solvay has made significant strides in sustainability, from the creation of green solvents in 2010 to partnerships aimed at a circular economy and environmental solutions, including working with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and promoting green tires through precipitated silica.

The establishment of Syensqo marks a key step in the continued evolution of the company, now focused on leveraging its scientific expertise in renewable materials, biotechnology, and sustainable solutions. With a solid foundation in scientific research dating back to the early 20th century, including the Solvay Conferences and the first Chemistry for the Future Prize, Syensqo is committed to leading the way in innovations that support a greener and more sustainable future. Through its separation, Syensqo is poised to build on Solvay’s legacy while adapting to the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
