Driving long term success for modern manufacturing.
Tracing its origins to the late 19th century, Opta Group’s portfolio companies began with humble yet pioneering roots, supplying high-quality sand to local foundries in the United States and nitrogen fertilizer to farmers in Germany, fueling two of the world’s most foundational industries. As manufacturing and materials science advanced through the 20th century, the companies that would eventually come together to form Opta Group evolved alongside them. They expanded their capabilities, innovated through new processes, and integrated emerging technologies to serve a growing range of industrial markets.

Strategic partnerships fueling growth.
Opta Group was formed in 2019 through the merger of two Speyside Equity portfolio companies, Opta Minerals Inc. and SKW Metallurgie GmbH, combining decades of expertise in metallurgy, additives, and chemical solutions. This union created a strong foundation for a diversified industrial platform built on innovation, quality, and customer partnership. Since its formation, Opta Group has experienced rapid, strategic growth, fueled by continuous investment in innovation, technology, talent development, and targeted acquisitions. With the ongoing support of Speyside Equity, the company has expanded its global footprint and strengthened its position in key markets by accelerating both organic and acquisitive growth.

These initiatives have not only optimized performance but also reinforced Opta Group’s reputation as a trusted global leader in performance materials and industrial solutions. In 2023, Speyside Equity completed a continuation vehicle transaction with Elliott Investment Management L.P., ensuring long-term capital support for the next phase of Opta Group’s evolution. This partnership provides Opta Group with additional resources to accelerate innovation, drive organic expansion, and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities that further strengthen its global leadership and value creation for customers and stakeholders alike.
