Covestro: Production expansion in Ohio with several new production lines - More capacity for customized polycarbonates

Covestro is investing a low triple-digit million euro amount in the expansion of its site in Hebron, Ohio, USA. As detailed in a press release, the company is significantly expanding its capacity in the Solutions & Specialties business for the American market with the construction of several new production lines and infrastructure for the manufacture of customized polycarbonate compound materials.

The capacity expansion is considered an important step in meeting the growing demand for high-quality materials for the automotive and electronics industries as well as the healthcare sector in North America.

Covestro already operates a research and development center in Pittsburgh and is now doubling its compounding capacity in the United States. In the future, the two facilities will work even more closely together to advance the transfer of technology from the laboratory to industrial production, thus supporting fundamental transformation processes such as the electrification and automation of mobility, sustainable development and digitalization.

“This investment, which follows our recent announcement of a nearly EUR 40 million investment in our R&D capabilities in Pittsburgh, underscores the importance of our U.S. operations and the U.S. market to Covestro's global strategy”, said Samir Hifri, Chairman and President of Covestro LLC.
