Ravago Americas is the American arm of Ravago, a global distributor and supplier of polymers, rubber, chemicals, and building materials, with operations spanning more than 325 locations worldwide. Founded in Belgium in 1961 by Raf Van Gorp - initially recycling plastic waste from petrochemical companies - the company has grown into one of the largest distributors in its sector, serving more than 57,000 active customers across the globe. Its activities span distribution, resale, and manufacturing of polymer, rubber, and chemical-related products.
The company operates across a broad set of industry verticals, including plastics and polymers, rubber, chemical distribution, building materials, and petrochemical recycling. Its materials reach customers across many sectors, ultimately feeding into a wide range of everyday products. Ravago positions itself as a full-service partner along the supply chain rather than a pure-play distributor.
Ravago remains a family company, and describes its culture around long-standing relationships with suppliers, customers, and colleagues. Sustainability has been part of its stated identity since its origins in plastic recycling, and this thread runs through its current operations. The company's internal ethos is framed around a "partners first" approach, which it applies across functions and roles.
