Huntsman has appointed a new Supply Chain Director for its polyurethanes (PU) division in The Americas. Dr. Derek Crofton moves into the role after almost three decades of service with the corporation and brings extensive experience gained in Europe, USA and Latin America. He replaces Mark Dearman, who has become Operations Director at the company’s Geismar plant in Louisiana and General Manager of Rubicon LLC.

Most recently a director of Huntsman’s PU business in South America and its thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) business in The Americas, Derek is now responsible for all Huntsman’s PU planning, logistics, blending and warehouse facilities across The Americas. He will also continue to oversee PU activity in the key emerging markets of South America.

Derek’s in-depth knowledge of the Huntsman Polyurethanes business and his experience of different global markets will help the company leverage its capabilities and capacity across USA operations to supply customers in The Americas and beyond.

Derek will be based at Huntsman’s offices in The Woodlands, Texas. He will work closely with the team at Geismar, the company’s major PU plant in the USA.
