Our History

Struktol Company of America embodies the same impeccable service that has fueled the growth of our parent company, Schill + Seilacher, since 1877. After 100 years of serving specialty product manufacturers in Europe and Southeast Asia, the company opened Struktol Company Ltd. in Canada as its first North American sales office. The U.S. tire industry beckoned and the firm answered with Struktol Company of America, a sales office in Stow, Ohio, near Akron, the heart of the tire business.

With a handful of technical experts, we introduced processing and homogenizing agents to tire compounders. Struktol Company of America opened a production facility in 1979 and as STRUKTOL® products gained acceptance in tire compounds we were able to service the unique needs of the tire industry. We also developed a nationwide network of technical sales experts and warehouses to guarantee the immediate service and technical support for which we are well recognized.

The next decade brought considerable growth, with three expansions and the addition of 70 employees. We not only became the No. 1 supplier of rubber processing chemicals, but our industry award-winning technical sales specialists were enlisted by other rubber chemical companies to represent their products as well.

Over the years, Struktol has expanded its expertise into the plastics, PVC and wood plastics composites industries worldwide with dynamic growth.
