As we move through this year, the momentum we built over the history of the company is growing – from ripples into accelerated progress across the industry. For us, making waves reflects our commitment to delivering the high-quality, sustainable materials and reliable, innovative solutions our customers depend on every day – while maintaining our strong focus on safety, operational excellence and responsible growth.

About AmSty

Americas Styrenics LLC (AmSty) is a leading integrated producer of polystyrene and styrene monomer, offering solutions and services to customers in markets throughout the Americas. Styrene monomer is a key ingredient for a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, and it is also the chemical building block for polystyrene, a versatile plastic used in a broad range of consumer-facing applications. It is our belief these essential products should be produced in the most sustainable way to serve our customers and protect our planet.

AmSty has been a pioneer at the forefront of developing circular recycling solutions. We are building momentum toward a more sustainable future and making important progress through partnerships. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from the raw materials we source to our environmental stewardship, safety focus, corporate responsibility, and community involvement.

AmSty was formed in 2008 through a joint venture between Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow). Dow sold its ownership to Bain Capital in 2010 which came to be known as Trinseo. Today, AmSty is a 50/50 joint venture between Trinseo and CPChem.

Headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, AmSty has approximately 500 employees and contractors. We manufacture styrene monomer at our St. James, Louisiana, location, and polystyrene at locations in:

  • Allyn’s Point, Connecticut
  • Cartagena, Colombia
  • Hanging Rock, Ohio
