After the Second World War Perstorp began with the manufacture of formica , which therefore in Sweden in the 1950s and 1960s Perstorpsplattan were known.

Polyols have also been produced since 1977. In 2001 the oxo business was taken over by Neste Oil . In 2009, the Caprolactone division was bought by Solvay .
