Where We've Been

The Idea That Changed Everything

Back in 1953, a group of visionaries came together in Northwest Indiana. At first, they developed materials for the automotive industry. But then came the big idea. To take water-soluble polymers and cast them to make something brand new—a water-soluble film. To create products that disappear after use—working with nature, not against it.

Sustainable PVA technology has already revolutionized product categories like detergents, healthcare, and agriculture.
