About SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals
Sustainable solutions for people and the planet
At SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals, our mission is to be a leading innovative polymer solutions provider. We use advanced technologies and support our dedicated associates to create sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer and healthier life for people everywhere.
In June 2009, SEKISUI CHEMICAL Co., Ltd. acquired Celanese’s polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) business. We then took control of facilities in Calvert City, Kentucky, and Pasadena, Texas. Additionally, we took ownership of one unit in a complex in Tarragona, Spain, as well as resources in the company’s Houston Technology Center.
SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals established entities in the U.S., Europe and Mexico as a result of the Celanese acquisition. Through these three regions, we expand new applications for PVOH products while delivering consistent quality and service to our customers worldwide.
In 2018, SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals began representing two new brands:
These products come with decades of SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group experience and global support in each industry. SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals represents these products internationally, and we’re ready to collaborate with customers to create tomorrow’s crucial products.
SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals is part of the multibillion-dollar, multinational company SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group. Our company is one of 11 SEKISUI America Corporation subsidiaries and one of nine SEKISUI Europe subsidiaries.
As a global company, SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group delivers a wide range of products and services to enrich people’s lives. We strive to “produce a better world with creative technologies,” and we’ve done so since our 1947 formation. The company comprises core businesses and technologies in housing, social infrastructure and chemical solutions.

The SEKISUI Creed
“The difference between people living their lives in accordance with ideals and those simply going where the currents and eddies of life take them becomes ever more apparent as the long years of their lives pass. The same is true of business. Only when employees mass under a common ideal arising from a basic policy of business management can the company demonstrate its great power as a corporate community.”
