Covestro is among the leading suppliers of premium polymers. Our materials and application solutions are found in nearly every area of modern life. Innovation and sustainability are the driving forces behind the continuous development of our products, processes and facilities.
Covestro’s core business comprises three segments that produce and continuously advance raw materials for polyurethanes and their derivatives, the premium plastic polycarbonate as well as coatings, adhesives and other specialties. With several thousand different products in their portfolios, our segments work hand in hand to push boundaries for our customers’ success.
Thanks to its many good properties, the plastic polycarbonate has been an ongoing success story ever since it was discovered in 1953 in what is today Covestro’s Uerdingen site. Our Polycarbonates (PCS) segment leads the development of this lightweight, transparent, virtually unbreakable and easy-to-shape material. Primarily sold under the brand name Makrolon® by Covestro, the premium plastic is an excellent substitute for materials such as glass.
