What are the key locations and timing of Covestro's recent acquisition of HDI derivative production facilities?

Covestro has completed the acquisition of two former Vencorex hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) derivative production sites — one in Rayong, Thailand, and the other in Freeport, Texas, USA — with the transaction officially closing on July 1, 2026.

How does Covestro describe the strategic value of this acquisition for its customers in the coatings and adhesives industry?

According to Thomas Roemer, Head of Covestro’s Coatings & Adhesives business, the acquisition strengthens regional production capacity, enhances local supply capabilities, and improves reliability and technical support — all of which are critical for customers amid current market challenges; it also complements Covestro’s existing HDI derivative production network across Europe, Asia, and North America to better serve demand for high-performance and more sustainable coatings and adhesives.
