Omya

#NEWS We are investing in a new production facility at our Moerdijk site in the Netherlands to serve growing demand for lightweighting and insulation solutions across Europe. Philipp A. Mueller, VP of Omya in Building & Construction says the new facility will significantly increase our capacity for #Omyasphere200 closed-cell expanded perlite products within the region. This fits perfectly with our commitment to providing advanced, sustainable materials and solutions in close proximity to our customers. #ThinkingofTomorrow #Sustainability

#NEWS After a whirlwind of activity in recent months, our new #ShowLab is now open at our Egerkingen research and innovation campus in Switzerland. The ShowLab takes visitors on an interactive journey through our contributions to innovation, functionality and sustainability in the 12 industries we support. As you can imagine, there is a lot to say after 140 years of #ThinkingofTomorrow! But it’s not all about past achievements, we also look at the challenges of the future and how #Omya can help solve them. The Omya ShowLab offers customers, partners and colleagues an insight into our approach to innovation and helps them understand how natural minerals and specialty materials make a difference now and in the future. A big thank you to our external partners and internal contributors who worked so hard to make the ShowLab a reality. 

#DidYouKnow that every year over 2 billion tonnes of waste are produced globally? Much of this waste litters our environment or finds its way into our oceans. Every year, Omya colleagues around the world take part in #WorldCleanUpDay to help reduce the damage caused by littering and mismanaged waste. Our pictures show colleagues from different countries working together to clean up in their local communities. #ThinkingofTomorrow means putting right the mistakes of yesterday as well as doing better for the future. #Sustainability

#NEWS This weekend we celebrated the company’s 140 year anniversary, and 130 years of global distribution, with two open days at our Egerkingen research and innovation campus in Switzerland. On Friday, more than 400 colleagues took the time to visit the site, many for the first time, and enjoyed touring our laboratories and learning from our technical experts about our long history of #ThinkingofTomorrow. This was followed on Saturday by a community open day, where we welcomed local residents, businesses and politicians. Everyone is always amazed by the many ways in which Omya’s solutions make life better. These open days provided a great opportunity to show how much has been achieved since #Omya was founded in 1884. We are looking forward to the next 140 years!

At Omya, #ThinkingofTomorrow means recruiting and developing young talent. Our apprenticeship program offers high school students the opportunity to learn a profession in an international environment while completing their studies. Our apprentices gain a very broad understanding of our business through placements in six different departments, graduating after three years with the chance to continue their career at Omya in one of our sites across 50 countries. Congratulations to the class of ‘24 which has just graduated. We wish you all the best in your future careers.   If you are interested in a program which supports you to become the professional of tomorrow, check out our apprenticeships for 2025: https://lnkd.in/erfaDEkh #ShapingTheFuture #PromotingYoungTalents

We had an inspiring time at our "Work Methodology & Time Management" training session last Thursday! Thanks to BTA Business Training Academy GmbH, colleagues from across the business learned how to set priorities and plan efficiently. This practical workshop introduced a range of techniques to help people achieve their goals and maximize productivity. Our team learned how to save time, enhance self-management, and handle disturbances better. Often, it's the small changes in how we organize our work that make the biggest impact. #Omya offers everyone the opportunity to continually boost their skills with the Omya Academy, supported by hands on, practical courses to reinforce the learning.

Today is the day! It’s exactly 140 years since Emma Staufer and Gottfried Plüss married and founded the company on the same day. On that day and every day since, our colleagues across the world have been #ThinkingofTomorrow, working out how to make life better for current and future generations using our passion for minerals and chemistry. We asked what Thinking of Tomorrow means to them and we think you’ll be able to relate to their answers. Tell us in the comments what Thinking of Tomorrow means to you…  

2024 is a big year for #Omya. Not only are we celebrating 140 years in business, but we are also celebrating 130 years in distribution! Working with Principals and customers across the world, our Global Distribution Services team supports all our markets with a comprehensive portfolio of specialty materials and other ingredients that complement our natural minerals. You can see in our video what this milestone means to our colleagues in distribution, although they’re already thinking of the next 130 years! Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/e97fgnbV #ThinkingofTomorrow
