About
About Syensqo
Syensqo became an independent public company in December 2023 through Solvay’s separation of its specialty businesses. Headquartered in Brussels, it operates a global research and manufacturing network across specialty polymers, composite materials, formulations and advanced chemical technologies. The company is broad-based; robotics and autonomous systems are application markets rather than its sole focus.
Its direct Korthos relevance comes from materials that enable lighter, thermally resilient and structurally efficient platforms. In aerospace, Syensqo supplies composite resins, thermoplastic materials, adhesives and process support used in airframes, propulsion and interiors. Vertical Aerospace named it a long-term materials supplier across the Valo structure as part of the aircraft’s industrialisation plan. That agreement supports a supply-chain classification in composites without treating Syensqo as an aircraft or robot manufacturer.

- 2025-12-08 - Partnership - Vertical names Syensqo as long-term VX4 materials supplier
Syensqo will supply high-performance composite and adhesive materials across the entire VX4 structure; the materials were already used in Vertical prototypes. Vertical said the materials provide lightweight strength, structural efficiency and durability for repeated high-cycle electric-flight operations. The long-term agreement supports certification and industrialisation; Vertical is targeting certification in 2028, while Aciturri is responsible for manufacturing the airframe.

Vertical said 60% of the prototype's technology came from strategic partners including GKN Aerospace, Hanwha, Honeywell, Leonardo, Molicel and Syensqo. The prototype introduced Vertical's proprietary battery technology and a 20% higher power-to-weight ratio, with a target cruise speed of up to 150 mph. Vertical planned to begin the flight-test programme after receiving a UK Civil Aviation Authority Permit to Fly.
