Evonik Corporation celebrated 40 years of production at its Mobile, Alabama, site with four $10,000 donations to local organizations focused on science, education, workforce training and healthcare. The Mobile specialty chemical manufacturing site is Evonik’s largest in North America with more than 800 employees and an additional 400 contractors, making it one of the largest employers in the Mobile area.
Evonik has selected the following four organizations for its donations:
• The Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center.
• Advanced Manufacturing Training Center.
• Signature Academy of Industry and Engineering at Theodore High School.
• Victory Health Partners.
“These organizations represent our corporate values and provide vital services in our local Mobile community,” said Bonnie Tully, VP and Mobile site manager.
Production originally began in Mobile in December 1976 with the startup of an Aerosil fumed silica facility. Power generation units were also brought on line in autumn 1976. The site has now grown to house 27 operating units representing all three business segments. In addition, chemical manufacturers such as Bayer, BASF, United Initiators and QUAB also own production units on site to capitalize on Evonik’s infrastructure and raw material production.
Evonik employs more than 1,000 people in Alabama between its production site in Mobile and its Birmingham Labs. Birmingham Labs serves as the company’s hub for parenteral drug delivery and commercial drug product manufacturing.
