Our history

Long history and modern outlook

Dynea, a Norwegian company, with a long history and a modern outlook.

We can look back on a long history, dating back to 1947. Until 2000, the company was part of the listed industrial group Dyno, where it constituted the group’s chemical business area. In 2000, the company became part of the newly formed Dynea Group where the resins and adhesives activities of Dyno, Neste Chemicals and Perstorp were merged. The Dynea Group was dismantled and divested in parts from 2007 to 2013, when the current Dynea was created and sold to Eltek Holding in Norway.

Dynea has in more than 75 years been a leading supplier of specialised products, with a broad range of expertise that extends beyond adhesives. We have extensive chemical knowledge in developing and producing performance additives for coatings and have designed and started up more than 40 formaldehyde plants around the world. In addition, we contract manufacture for several industries, including oil field chemicals, and have strong competence in analysis and regulatory work.
