SI Group, Inc. Company Profile
SI Group (formerly called Schenectady International) came to life by bringing good varnishes to life for General Electric. Founded by Howard Wright in 1906, the company was established to develop insulating varnishes for GE's early electrical devices. SI Group has sold its electrical insulating business to ALTANA, but it still makes friction material resins for use in the manufacture of brake linings and clutch facings. The company's other products include alkylphenols, phenolic resins, and electronic chemicals used in the production of semiconductors, imaging products, packaging, rubber compounds, agrochemicals, dyes, fuel additives, and flavoring agents. Descendants of Wright still own the company.
