Huntsman’s European Polyurethanes division (Everberg / Belgium; www.huntsman.com) is opening a new service centre in Warsaw / Poland, strengthening its capabilities across central and eastern Europe and the Baltics – territories where MDI demand is steadily growing.

Located in Warsaw's commercial district, near the Chopin Airport, the service center includes a sales office, an analytical laboratory and a meeting centre. A warehouse will also open at the site in due course.

According to Huntsman, Poland's fast growing economy makes it the ideal location for a commercial gateway into eastern Europe. Local demand for MDI is increasing at a rate of more than 10% per year.

"With our new service centre open for business, we will be in a prime position to respond to customer requests quickly and efficiently," says Nick Webster, vice president Europe of Huntsman Polyurethanes.
