Covestro Launches Raw Materials Production in Thailand
Covestro started production of Naphthylen-Diisocyanate (NDI) for the Vulkollan® raw material at a newly built plant in its Map Ta Phut site in Thailand. Covestro’s Thailand site is part of several investments, like its Barcelona site and its site in Caojing, China.
“We believe in the growth of the cast elastomers market, and want to meet the increasing demand. With this new production plant, we achieve a significant improvement of our global infrastructure, and strengthen our presence for high-performance elastomers in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Sucheta Govil, chief commercial officer at Covestro. “This investment also allows us to better serve our customers, improve our customer service, and it supports the growth of applications and industries with high-end performance requirements.”
