A new BaySystems polyurethane systems house was inaugurated in Goungzhou.

Bayer MaterialScience has further expanded its presence in China, supporting customers in the automotive, construction, appliance, furniture, and footwear sectors with customized polyurethanes.

Baytherm® systems for thermal insulation of appliances and Baymer® for building insulation will have a particularly important role to play. These activities are spurred by the Chinese government’s goal of significantly reducing energy consumption in both public and residential buildings. Says Peter Vanacker, head of the Polyurethanes business unit: “By 2015 China will be the largest polyurethanes market in the world.”

Including the new project in South China, Bayer MaterialScience now operates a global network of 30 systems houses in close proximity to its customers.
