Resinoid was founded by Clarence A. Herbst Sr. (1900 to 1989). Mr. Herbst was a chemical engineer who designed and formulated phenolics in the early age of plastics; this creativity led to starting two small companies in the late 1920's and early 1930's. Resinoid grew out of these ventures and was incorporated in 1939. Molding of his plastics was added to the business almost immediately and as a result the company grew. Applications for these high tech phenolics were found in commutators and various custom moldings. This pattern of design to application continued into what Resinoid is today. The ownership and management of the company has continued within Mr. Herbst's family and the company in now in its third generation of ownership, lending consistency to proven principles throughout the years.

"ATSP Innovations was founded in 2010 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Research Park. In 2020, ATSP moved its operations to the Houston area. The company is engaged in developing, producing, and commercializing a new family of resins (Aromatic Thermosetting coPolyesters, ATSP). The development of the ATSP family of resins heralds a major advance for the field of polymers – combining the advantages of a high-temperature thermoset with the processing of a thermoplastic. ATSP polymers offer ultra-high thermal stability, outstanding wear resistance, and revolutionary solid-state state bonding. ATSP has developed unique polymer concepts with impact from structural composites ranging from launch vehicles to commercial automobiles, as well as low dielectric constant circuit boards for microelectronics, rigid structural foams, ablative material for reentry vehicles, and fast-bonding high temperature adhesives. ATSP’s team has combined decades of experience designing and developing polymers to tackle challenging industrial problems."
