Borealis appoints Eberhard Dreher as third Chief Scientist
Borealis has appointed Eberhard Dreher as its new Chief Scientist for Base Chemicals. The company produces a range of base chemicals, mainly for use at wholly-owned and joint-venture operations producing polyethylene, polypropylene and nitrogen chemicals such as melamine, urea and fertilizers.
Eberhard Dreher's key responsibility will be to ensure that Borealis operates with the most advanced technologies for the economic and high quality production of polyolefin feedstocks. He will also be looking at new options in the light of the rapidly growing PP capacities in the Middle East and Asia.
Eberhard Dreher is the third Chief Scientist at Borealis. Gunilla Herrgård is Chief Scientist for polyolefins research and development, and Bill Gustafsson is Chief Scientist for technology and Borstar licensing.
Eberhard Dreher is a chemist by profession and has almost 30 years of experience in large scale chemical process operation and development. He has been responsible for the successful implementation of many process improvements and has led the development of new processes from conceptualisation to implementation. Before joining Borealis, Eberhard Dreher held several management positions at The Dow Chemical Company and most recently worked as a consultant and independent contractor for companies in Europe and the Middle East. He has experience in most processes used for the commercial production of polymer feedstocks.
