In March of this year, Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH celebrates an important anniversary: For 25 years, the Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH has offered its know-how in the field of additives and speciality resins for coatings and printing inks. During this time, Tego has risen to become a leading supplier of speciality products for the coatings and printing inks industries.

In October 1984 Th. Goldschmidt AG established Tego Chemie Service GmbH in Essen. Operations started on January 1, 1985. Even at that time, major products included the silicone resins still used today for heat resistant coatings for saucepans and frying pans, etc. In addition, organomodified siloxanes with their outstanding surface activity rapidly became increasingly important as additives for coatings and printing inks.

Today, the Evonik Tego products are available from numerous subsidiaries. The Evonik Tego is thus able to supply the customers almost everywhere rapidly and provide competent technical support through the Technical Service Centers.
