Omnova Solutions Inc

When the world’s top companies (or those aspiring to get there) are looking to create competitive advantage, they come to OMNOVA Solutions. Our technologies, products and services deliver distinctive performance features, thus helping to support our Customers’ reputations for trusted brands around the globe and in a wide variety of markets.

We start with curiosity: Probing to develop a deep understanding of the unmet needs of our Customers…We add collaboration: Working with Customers to find the right solution for their application instead of an off-the-shelf, me-too, anything-will-do kind of product…Then we draw upon our deep expertise in polymer, specialty chemical and material science, broad scale-up and manufacturing capabilities, and global delivery options to provide a product or service that consistently meets our Customers’ – and their Customers’ – expectations.

We bring our solutions to a global marketplace, serving more than 90 countries from operations in North America, Europe and Asia, and technology centers in all three regions as well.

The OMNOVA name goes back to 1999, when the Company (a spin-off of GenCorp) was established as an independent, publicly-traded enterprise. But our roots run deep. We first began operations in 1915 as The General Tire and Rubber Company. The corporation has looked very different through the years, but our use of science-based solutions to solve Customers’ problems and help them create enduring brand experiences has always been at the heart of what we do.
Though diverse in the products we make and the markets we serve, using polymer science to develop innovative solutions are common threads across both of OMNOVA’s business units.
