Degussa is planning to build a production plant for the rigid polymethacrylimide foam ROHACELL® at its largest US site in Mobile, Alabama. The new plant comprises an investment volume of about US$10 million and is scheduled to commence operation in mid-2008.

Inspec Foams, Inc., of Allen, Texas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Degussa, shall manufacture ROHACELL® in Mobile to the same high standard of quality as in Degussa's first and, until now, only plant in Darmstadt. The construction of local ROHACELL® production facilities shall considerably reduce lead times on the North American continent, and further enhance technical customer service.
