Local Leaders Get Exclusive Tour of Huntsman Corp Research Facility

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Leaders from Huntsman Corporation in The Woodlands provided community leaders with a tour of the company’s research facility in The Woodlands recently.

"We want to let The Woodlands know the importance of a place like this," said Peter Huntsman, chief executive officer of Huntsman Corp.

The research facility houses about 300 employees and includes labs, and a bench-scale operations facilities for testing products, and all of it was opened up to members of the public as part of the corporation's first technology showcase.

The Huntsman Corporation uses chemicals to produce thousands of products we use every day at home, and in industries important to Houston’s local economy.

Some of the processes include the creation of materials that are as strong as steel, and are used in the automotive and aeronautics industries.

Other processes involve the refinement of petroleum products and the production of construction materials, and materials for vehicles and appliances.

Much of that is made possible because of the hard work of Huntsman’s 1,200 person workforce combined at its Montgomery County locations in The Woodlands and Conroe.

Huntsman said despite the downturn in the petroleum industry, the company has continued to do well because of the hard work and support of the communities that support Huntsman Corp., and the employees that make the company a great place to work.

"What makes us unique are our associates," Huntsman said. "We appreciate the community."
