Rotterdam, Netherlands – May 5, 2026 – Velogy officially launches as a new European polymers business, built to deliver high‑performing materials with speed, focus and partnership for customers across Europe. Backed by long-standing industrial expertise and a sharpened entrepreneurial mindset, Velogy delivers solutions that are essential to daily life across Europe.
“Our company is built for this moment,” says Richard Roudeix, Velogy’s Chief Executive Officer. “Velogy combines velocity, energy and innovation. Europe needs strong, reliable materials partners who combine manufacturing excellence with commercial agility. We are applying a new edge – sharper decision-making, closer customer partnership and a clear focus on performance – to help our customers move forward with confidence in a changing European market.”
A European business, critical to daily life
Headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Velogy operates a strong European footprint with four strategically located manufacturing plants in France, Germany, Spain, and England. With around 1,700 experts, the company serves more than 1,600 customers with over 150 products, supplying markets in more than 60 countries. Velogy’s products play a critical role in daily life, from infrastructure and mobility to packaging and construction, and from healthcare and consumer products to medical applications – supporting Europe’s industries where reliability, quality and pace matter most.
“A strong European industrial base is essential for competitiveness and resilience,” says Dr.-Ing. Axel Geuer, Founder and Chairman of AEQUITA, the owner of Velogy.
“Velogy represents exactly what European industry needs right now: a focused business with ownership, pace and ambition, backed by deep operational expertise. And we are looking to grow. With the acquisition of the SABIC European Petrochemical business, Velogy’s value proposition will further strengthen by expanding its operational capabilities, geographic reach, and product offering. I am confident that Velogy is well positioned to become the partner of choice for polymer solutions in Europe.”
Applying edge – moving Europe forward
Velogy’s strategy is anchored in Applying edge. The company is building a different type of materials business: lean in structure, entrepreneurial in spirit and relentlessly focused on value adds for customers.
“Shaping the successful future of Velogy is not a one‑off event – it is how we operate,” states Robert Roiger, Chief Transformation Officer at Velogy and COO at AEQUITA. “From how our portfolio is positioned to how teams collaborate across manufacturing, commercial and technical functions, we are designed to remove complexity and accelerate value creation. That is how we turn experience into new solutions and help customers stay one step ahead.”
As Europe’s industries adapt and evolve, Velogy is ready to move with them – applying edge, and supplying the materials that keep everyday life moving forward.
