Current production at the Rio Claro site, about 200 kilometers away, will be terminated.

Our new investment will enable us to sustainably offer local customer-specific technical service, excellent product quality, and fast and reliable product supply,” says Dr. Markus Eckert, Head of the Urethane Systems business unit.
