Our Story
The history of Reaxis Inc. dates back to 1965 with Pitt Processing and Manufacturing Company, later known as Pitt Metals and Chemicals, Inc., which focused on manufacturing inorganic tin compounds throughout the 1970s. Pitt Metals was acquired by Goldschmidt AG of Essen, Germany in 1995 and then became Goldschmidt Industrial Chemical Corporation (GICC). Through a succession of several mergers and acquisitions, GICC became part of Degussa AG (now Evonik Industries AG). In 2006, GICC became an independent company through a management buyout, and the company name was officially changed to Reaxis Inc. in 2008.
Today, Reaxis Inc. has two manufacturing facilities and an R&D center located in Pittsburgh, PA. With over 40% of our business being exported, we are supported by our Netherlands-based subsidiary, Reaxis BV, and a network of international distributors and agents. With more than 55 years of manufacturing a wide range of consistently high-quality standard and specialty chemical products, our goal is to provide increasing value to our customers while helping them deliver next-generation products and remain economically and globally competitive.
