    Covestro to Expand Polycarbonate Production

    January 10, 2025

    Covestro is set to expand its production capacity for tailor-made polycarbonates at its site in Hebron, Ohio. The company is investing a low triple-digit million Euro amount to construct multiple new production lines and infrastructure. This expansion will allow Covestro to manufacture customized polycarbonate compounds and blends, with a focus on the American market.

    The investment is part of Covestro’s broader strategy to drive sustainable growth. By expanding its U.S. compounding plant, the company aims to meet the growing demand for specialized polycarbonate materials. Covestro is also looking to strengthen its position as a leading provider of polycarbonate materials in North America.

    “This investment in our U.S. compounding plant is an important component of our ‘Sustainable Growth’ strategy. With this expansion, we can meet our customers’ growing demand for specialized polycarbonate materials, grow together with our customers, and strengthen our position as a leading provider of polycarbonate materials in North America,” said Thorsten Dreier, CTO of Covestro.

    The expanded production capacity will enable Covestro to better serve the automotive, electronics and healthcare industries in North America. The company is also looking to support the region’s major transformation processes, such as the electrification and automation of mobility.

    Construction of the new production lines is set to begin in 2025, with operations expected to start by the end of 2026.
