About Solvay Korea

For the 45 years since Solvay Korea’s foundation, we have solidified our position as a leading player in chemical materials. We have continued to strengthen our activity portfolio, innovation, and competitiveness to build our reputation as a sustainable and responsible company. In order to reach out to customers, Solvay is implementing a dynamic environmental system to fulfill commitments to multiple stakeholders.

Solvay Korea became the first multinational company to form a university-industry collaboration with a Korean university.  The university-industry collaboration agreement was signed with Ewha Woman's University in 2011, which later on was shown in the form of scholarship support and joint research projects. The Ewha-Solvay Research & Innovation Center, which was built on the Ewha Woman's University campus in 2014, has accommodated both research and administrative personnel.
