Industry Leader
OMNOVA’s acquisition of ELOIKEM in December 2010 combines two of the world's leading technology innovators into a single, integrated global specialty chemicals provider. This greatly enhances OMNOVA's ability to serve its customers through a broader global manufacturing base with locations in Europe, China, India and the United States. The products and technologies gained with the ELIOKEM acquisition enable OMNOVA to offer a wider range of solutions to customers in our core markets and increase penetration into new applications including paint and coatings, elastomeric modifiers, antioxidants, specialty rubbers and reinforcing, oilfield and specialty latices.

Proud Legacy
The OMNOVA name is fairly young, but our roots run deep. In 1999, the company was spun off from GenCorp Inc., a major technology-based manufacturer that first began operations in 1915 as The General Tire and Rubber Company. In 2010, OMNOVA Solutions had sales of $846 million and currently employs 2,800 talented people across America, Europe and Asia.
