Huntsman: Transforming the
World of Advanced Materials
11:30 am to noon - Networking
noon to 1:00 pm - Luncheon
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm - Presentation
Abstract
With annual sales over $1.3 billion and the heritage of pioneering epoxy and polyurethane-based polymer products, the Huntsman Advanced Materials Division is committed to driving a culture of growth and sector leadership.
Huntsman's rapid innovation has been key in the commercialization of products with superior performance and durability. In the case of structural adhesives for composites, the weight reduction, energy savings and lower environmental footprint gains are enabling the next generation of aircraft, automobiles, advanced structures and electronic devices.
However, tepid economic growth, rising fixed costs and volatility in the cost of raw materials have driven Huntsman to implement a bold transformational program that increases the alignment of global resources with attractive higher-growth markets. By accelerating the development of solutions, improving manufacturing efficiencies and enhancing commercial effectiveness, the company expects benefits in excess of $70 million annually by seizing opportunities in aerospace, adhesives, high-performance coatings, power generation, green electronics and large-scale engineering projects.
Join us on October 2 to hear the unique vision and insights of James Huntsman on the fascinating world of light, durable and highly efficient materials.
