IMCD France has been named distributor for Covestro’s coatings and adhesives raw materials in France, with effect from May 1.

The agreement signed with former Bayer MaterialScience, which also is a major producer of engineering thermoplastics, expands the current cooperation beyond raw materials for the textile industry.

With the switch to IMCD, Covestro will end its more than 20-year cooperation with its previous sales partner Univar France.
