Nylonge is headquartered in Elyria, Ohio and operates in the most technically advanced cellulose sponge manufacturing facility in the world. Nylonge initially started production in 1951 in Cleveland, Ohio with 12 employees. Our current state-of-the-art facility in Elyria, Ohio was completed at the end of 1991. Production began in the 120,000 square foot plant in 1992 with 90 employees. After numerous expansions, Nylonge will soon double its plant size and quadruple its production.

Ultra-Fresh - Nylonge exclusively offers Ultra-Fresh® treated cellulose sponge, Which resists bacterial and fungal attack and resultant odors throughout the useful life of the sponge.

Environment - Nylonge has been a good neighbor to many homes and businesses it shares space with on Lowell Street in Elyria. As a manufacturer who cares about the community, Nylonge has committed millions of dollars along with years of time and engineering to create environmental systems that monitor, control, and contain our chemical processes. In addition, these systems control emissions or odors which could cause a neighborhood nuisance. Since the initial construction of the Nylonge facility in Elyria, Ohio, Nylonge has installed a 150,000 gallon per day comprehensive wastewater pretreatment system and pioneered the development of a biological air emission treatment system which is unique in the industry.

Nylonge recently installed additional Bioway Scrubber Towers increasing by 50% its air emission treatment capacity, to even better treat its air emission and substantially exceed current EPA regulations for air quality.
