Geon manufactures specialty polymer compounds and runs 15 production plants across North America. Their tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial automation—PLC-based control systems (Allen-Bradley, Rockwell, Siemens), SCADA, and precision sensor networks—paired with enterprise resource planning (SAP) and CAD tools (AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS). Active projects center on extrusion line control (closed-loop temperature and pressure regulation) and drive system optimization, suggesting an engineering focus on production reliability and cost reduction rather than product innovation.
Geon Performance Solutions manufactures engineered polymer compounds and finished products for medical devices, automotive, building materials, connectivity, and appliances.
