The first EPS plant run from 1968 to 1997. The maximum capacity was progressively increased.In that time, the current trademark Sconapor™ was developed.
In the early 90’s a decision for a new EPS production plant was taken. The startup of the new plant was in 1996.
In 2000 Dow Chemicals company took over Schkopau industrial park where EPS production is located.
In 2010 Dow spun off the whole styrene monomer plant and styrene consumer plant and it was the year that Styron was founded.
