Bayer MaterialScience announced it has consolidated its four units in China, now its third-largest market globally, to offer improved services and prepare for bigger growth in the Chinese market.
The units have been combined under Bayer MaterialScience (China) Co, which will have a total investment of 2.1 billion EUR (USD 2.95 billion) in fixed assets in Shanghai by 2012. It will also boast integrated production, marketing and sales, as well as research and development activities. It will source 4 billion yuan (USD 585.93 million) worth of products annually from China.
"For Bayer MaterialScience, China is currently the third-largest market worldwide and is becoming a growth engine for our global business," said Michael Koenig, president of Bayer MaterialScience in China.
