About Röhm

Röhm GmbH is a Germany-based chemical company specializing in methacrylate chemistry. Its portfolio includes methyl methacrylate (MMA), methacrylic acid and esters, specialty methacrylates, and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) molding compounds sold under the PLEXIGLAS brand (ACRYLITE in the Americas). Röhm also offers polymethyl methacrylimide (PMMI) materials under the PLEXIMID brand.

The company’s materials are used in injection molding and extrusion across industries such as automotive and transportation, building and construction, lighting, electrical and electronics, optics, and consumer goods. Product attributes commonly associated with PMMA and PMMI include high transparency and light transmission, weatherability and UV resistance, surface hardness, abrasion resistance, and elevated heat deflection for select grades.

Röhm operates production, R&D, and sales sites globally and traces its roots to the former methacrylates business of Evonik Industries. Its activities span bulk monomers to engineered resins, with ongoing initiatives aimed at improving circularity and reducing the environmental footprint of acrylic materials.
