A Legacy Built on Possibility and Partnership
Our story began nearly a century ago with the production of the first usable vinyl polymer... and the commitment to innovation and excellence has continued ever since. From these roots, Geon has grown into a trusted leader in high-value polymer solutions, partnering with global brands to solve complex challenges. Our legacy, strengthened by strategic acquisitions like Foster, LLC, unites powerful histories into a single vision: push the boundaries of what polymers can do. Powered by possibilities, we tackle every compound, challenge, and collaboration with curiosity and expertise — partnering with customers to deliver enduring solutions that move industries forward and positively impact lives.
Our Strategic Journey Expanding Polymer Solutions
Geon’s history began in 1927 with the invention of the first commercial vinyl polymer by BF Goodrich scientist Waldo Semon. Through decades of spin-offs, mergers, and acquisitions— including the formation of PolyOne and the establishment of GEON® Performance Solutions in 2019 — the company continued to evolve. Recent acquisitions have expanded Geon’s capabilities across medical, wire and cable, power, communications, and advanced polymer technologies, strengthening its global market presence.
