Careers in Singapore

Explore job opportunities in our Innovation hub for Asia Pacific South.

Evonik set up first offices in Singapore in 1969, starting with sales only and later including production and research. Today, Singapore is the headquarters and the innovation hub for the Asia Pacific South region. Supplying and producing locally, we are constantly stepping up our presence to strengthen the competitiveness of our customers through research and applications.

In Singapore, our manufacturing assets include the world’s largest production complex for essential amino acid DL-methionine within Evonik's network and an oil additives production site on Jurong Island. It also includes two manufacturing facilities in Tuas, with one producing Epoxy Curing Agent, Ink & Hotmelt Resin and Polyurethane Catalyst Blends, and another catalyst recovery center.

Singapore is composed of one main island, 63 satellite islands and islets, and one outlying islet and has the third highest population density in the world which allows this vibrant South Asian country to combine the energy of a bustling metropolis and the charm of tropical islands. With a multicultural population, Singapore has four official languages and integrates multiracialism in the constitution and all vital aspects of governance and public policy.

Chau Jin: Hi Everyone, welcome to Evonik Methionine South East Asia Limited. In 2014, Evonik commissioned its first Asia Pacific production complex for MetAMINO® which is an essential amino acid.

Chau Jin: DL-methionine is used in sustainable animal feed on Jurong Island, Singapore. Then in 2019, to better serve the strong demands and customers in Asia, Evonik opened its second production complex for DL-methionine right next to the first one.

Chau Jin: Today with an annual nameplate capacity of 300 thousand tonnes, the Singapore site hires a workforce of more than 300 people and operates a continuous manufacturing process 24/7, producing DL-methionine and serving key markets in Asia and around the world.
