MIDLAND, MI - Dow Polyurethanes, a business group of The Dow Chemical Company, will move forward with the detailed engineering phase of the nameplate capacity expansion of its polyols plant in Terneuzen, the Netherlands. The company has selected Jacobs Engineering, a design contract firm based in the Netherlands, to handle the engineering needs of the project.
