The automotive polyurethane systems manufacturer Bayer Pearl has broken ground for construction of its new headquarters in the Dubai Investments Park, which will be the site of the regional offices and state-of-the-art production facilities. The site will feature research, development and application laboratories as well as a demonstration center for the use of high-quality materials.

Bayer Pearl was established in 2007 as a joint venture between Bayer MaterialScience AG and Pearl Insulation Materials Industries LLC.

The joint venture is part of the global network of polyurethane systems houses of Bayer MaterialScience. Bayer Pearl develops high-tech solutions for the insulation of buildings and piping, and for the automotive industry. Such challenges can be met with polyurethane rigid foam, for example, which thanks to its excellent thermal insulation properties makes an important contribution to conservation of scarce natural resources. Polyurethane materials also make it possible to design cars that weigh less and are therefore more fuel efficient.
