20-Sep-2007

The Dow Chemical Company announced that it will acquire Danish company Edulan A/S, an independent polyurethane (PU) systems house specializing in rigid foam and elastomer technologies. The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, will expand Dow Polyurethane Systems, a business unit within Dow Polyurethanes, and strengthen its presence in Northern Europe.

In addition to Edulan's business and production facility in Denmark, Dow will also acquire rights to all of its rigorously formulated and field-tested systems, which can be further developed into tailored solutions.

Edulan sells a broad array of polyurethane systems, mainly into the rigid foam market, as well as elastomers for specialties applications. By establishing a base in Denmark, Dow Polyurethane Systems will be well positioned to meet customer demand for customized polyurethane systems in the Nordic countries, as well as capture emerging demand in the growing economies of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
