Brown said Min Chong, formerly Air Products’ vice president of its global epoxy business, is heading the new segment for Evonik. Chong, who holds a master’s degree in marketing and finance from Lehigh University, according to his LinkedIn profile, moved to Evonik in January as vice president and general manager of the epoxy business.
Evonik has a two-year lease inside Air Products’ Trexlertown headquarters in Upper Macungie Township. Air Products said in April that it is exploring options for its massive corporate campus, including moving into a new facility in the Lehigh Valley.
Evonik, which employs more than 35,000 people worldwide, posted a 2016 profit of $956.7 million off sales of about $14.4 billion. Evonik’s North America headquarters is in Parsippany, N.J.
