Business
Synthomer plc is a specialty chemicals company that manufactures and supplies a broad portfolio of polymers and performance chemicals for industries including coatings, adhesives, medical, construction, functional polymers, performance materials and engineered particles; its core products encompass synthetic latexes such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene latex and styrene butadiene latex, water-based polymer dispersions, thermoplastics, liquid polybutadienes, functional polymers and high-performance binders. The company operates production facilities primarily in Europe and Asia, serving global markets with tailored solutions for end-users in health and protection, performance materials, coatings and construction, and industry segments. Founded in 1860 and headquartered in London, UK, Synthomer maintains a strong focus on sustainability and innovation in its specialty chemical offerings. In recent developments, Synthomer has pursued strategic portfolio optimization, including the 2024 divestment of its acrylic dispersions business and site closures in Europe to streamline operations and enhance profitability amid challenging market conditions. The company also announced leadership changes and cost-saving measures in 2025, alongside ongoing efforts to grow its high-value functional polymers and engineered particles segments through targeted investments and customer partnerships.
