Neville Chemical Company is a manufacturer of synthetic hydrocarbon resins and coumarone-indene resins. Established in 1925, Neville Chemical Company is privately owned with the Corporate Headquarters and main manufacturing facility located on Neville Island. The Island is located in the Ohio River, six miles west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On April 20, 1999, Nevcin Polymers B.V. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Neville Chemical Company.
