The Rubber Business Group of Bayer Corporation is pleased to announce a cooperative agreement with Rhein Chemie Corporation. Effective January 1, 2002, Rhein Chemie will become a distributor for Bayer's rubber polymer product line in addition to its rubber chemicals.
Although Bayer has recently indicated its intention to divest its interest in Rhein Chemie, the announcement does not impact on this arrangement; the Bayer Rubber Business Group/Rhein Chemie agreement remains intact.'Our decision to include our rubber polymer product line as part of our current distributorship pact with Rhein Chemie is for the convenience of our customers,' says Larry Johnston, Vice President, NAFTA Sales at Bayer Rubber. 'It is always our intention to focus on ways to provide the products and services that our customers need to maximize their business return. Hopefully they will benefit by being able to use a single supply source for both Bayer rubber polymers and Bayer rubber chemicals.' The Bayer rubber polymer line includes the following familiar trade names: Bayer Butyl, Baypren, Buna, Levamelt, Levapren, Krynac, Perbunan, Taktene and Therban.
