BASF Construction Chemicals recently completed a multi-million dollar expansion at its Brighton, CO, polyurethane sealants and adhesives production facility. This expansion took approximately one year to complete and increases the plant's overall production capacity by more than 25%, with the addition of a complete process train and additional storage capability.

BASF Construction Chemicals markets an extensive line of polyurethane (PU) construction sealants, coatings and adhesives under the Sonneborn and Chemrex brand names in both North and South America and around the world.

"As the market leader in this technology, it is essential that we continue to invest in technology, and the necessary manufacturing and packaging equipment to keep us in a leadership position," said John Salvatore, CEO of BASF Construction Chemicals North America. "This capital investment is very exciting and one of many that continues to demonstrate our commitment to our customers and to the industry. With BASF as our parent company we have the strength, financial resources and long term vision to continue to invest in all areas, including manufacturing, technology and attractive market opportunities."
