Ray Southwell created Specialty Polymers, Inc. in 1969 to provide emulsions to the paper industry. Specialty Polymers is still owned and managed by the Southwell family and has expanded from its original single building to a 62,000 square foot production facility in Woodburn, Oregon. Our skilled production staff is committed to providing quality products and meeting delivery requirements.

With the same commitment to quality and excellence, Specialty Polymers has expanded by building a new state-of-the-art facility in Chester, South Carolina.

And a commitment to quality and customized solutions …

With the additional East Coast plant bringing our annual production capacity to 200 million pounds, we will continue to expand our facilities, our diverse product line, and our customer-focused support staff. We will maintain Ray Southwell’s original mission to supply exceptional customized products that will give you a competitive edge.
