No financial details of the agreement, to be fulfilled by Degussa's Goldschmidt polyurethane (PU) additives business in Essen , Germany, were disclosed.

 

In addition to Essen, German specialty chemicals company Degussa has service centres in Hopewell, Virginia, Shanghai, China and Sao Paulo, Brazil. It also has fully integrated production sites for stabilisers in Essen and Hopewell.
