Company invests mid-double-digit million euro amount in new line in Charleston, SC.

Evonik invested in a plant expansion for precipitated silica at its site in Charleston, SC USA. The new line in South Carolina is satisfying the high demand in particular from the tire industry in North America and makes the supply chains of Evonik partners in the region resilient by enabling local silica sourcing. Silica is a key ingredient for fuel-efficient tires and other products like toothpaste or coatings. The group is investing a mid-double-digit million euro amount. The construction of the new production line is scheduled to begin in mid-2024. Operations will start in early 2026. “North America is an important strategic growth region for us,” said Maike Schuh, CFO of Evonik and responsible for the Americas region. “With the investment in Charleston, we are strengthening our strategic customer-centric approach and improving our cost and sustainability position. Evonik is investing in innovative and green solutions and technologies that offer our customers superior sustainability benefits.” With the new line in Charleston, the company will increase its production capacity for precipitated silica at the site by 50 percent. “With this expansion, our state-of-the-art Charleston site becomes a major hub for precipitated and sustainable silica products in North America,” says Lauren Kjeldsen, head of the Smart Materials Division, which includes the silica business. Over the past years, Evonik has continuously invested in modern silica production updates and strategic acquisitions around the globe to further enhance the business. The Charleston facilities are part of a network of 18 precipitated silica production sites globally.
