Evonik Industries, founded under this name in 2007, is still young, but can point to a rich economic, social, and technological history going back 170 years.

This page normally carries a link to our History Portal, where you can learn about the origin of Evonik Industries and access informative chronologies as well as many articles on the history of the sites, outstanding technical innovations, and figures who have left their mark on the company's history.

We are now in the process of extensively revising the History Portal, and regret that it is not accessible at present.

But information on the history of Evonik Industries is still available: Just send an e-mail to our Corporate Archives. For more than 50 years, Corporate Archives has been providing historical information on all matters pertaining to the history of the present company and its predecessors.
