Bayer Polymers LLC and the PolyOne Corporation have formed a Joint Venture for the development, production and marketing of polyurethane systems in the USA and Canada. Each company will own 50 percent of the new joint venture, which will be known as BayOne Urethane Systems LLC.

Our local presence will enable us to supply our country and client-specific solutions rapidly and will considerably enhance customer loyalty. The Bayer sites that are to be involved in the joint venture include the research and development facilities and sales offices of the Bayer Corporation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the production and laboratory facilities in New Martinsville, West Virginia and the research and technical services facilities in Dalton, Georgia.

PolyOne's sites in St. Louis (headquarters of the joint venture, production and laboratory facilities), Commerce, California and Sussex, Wisconsin (production and laboratory facilities) and Kennesaw, Georgia (laboratory facilities and technical services) will also be involved in the joint venture.
