StyroChem Canada Ltd.

Founded in 1975 as Expandable Technologies, StyroChem was one of the first manufacturers of EPS for food service applications. The business grew with the addition of two production facilities in Fort Worth, in 1979 and 1981 and manufacture of block and shape grade product lines.

In 1983 Expandable Technologies became Texstyrene. The company expanded further in 1984 when the Montreal facility came on line, providing capabilities to service the entire world market. Texstyrene was purchased by Scott Paper in 1988 and became Scott Polymers. A private holding company purchased Scott Polymers in 1996 to become what is know today as StyroChem.

The consolidation of the Fort Worth facilities into one streamlined production site took place in 2007. This right sizing of manufacturing assets has created a company ideally situated with a competitive cost structure to meet today’s exacting market demands. StyroChem expanded its capacity at the Montreal site in late 2008 to include a separate production line for block and shape grade EPS, capable of an additional 80 million pounds per year.

StyroChem is investing in the future by creating an extruded resin division to promote extruded specialty resins, including recycled resins. StyroChem has added a high capacity extrusion line and one specialized reactor for the manufacture of expandable engineered resins and recycled resin products.
