The name stands for SYNergies, paired with energy, quality and technical expertise. Business operations commenced on 1 January 2026, creating one of the largest providers of industrial services in Germany.

With around 3,500 employees and sales of €1.8 billion (as of 2024), the wholly owned subsidiary of Evonik will take on central tasks such as technical services, energy supply, pipeline construction and operation, secure building and plant management, waste disposal, port operations, plant logistics and firefighting, as well as plant security and canteen operations.

At the same time, SYNEQT is creating the conditions for the long-term development of the Marl and Wesseling sites into climate-neutral and highly flexible industrial ecosystems. In addition, the new company opens up growth potential and the acquisition of external customers beyond Evonik’s sites. The involvement of external investors is also planned in the future.
