Styron, Berwyn, PA., USA, a global materials company established in June 2010, has announced plans to change its company name to Trinseo. The name change will be fully effective in all countries later in 2011; the company will continue to do business as Styron until that time.
The word Trinseo comes from "intrinsic", which means belonging to a thing by its very nature, or belonging to or lying within a given part. The root of "trins" is combined with "eo", the Latin verb root meaning "to go". Together these convey the concept that the company's products and technology deliver "intrinsic" value to our customers. Styron products, technologies and expertise play an intrinsic role in our customers' products, and are integral to their success. The name Trinseo also captures the vital role that Styron people play in collaborating with our customers to enable their next generation of products.
