19/09/07 Cargill’s BiOH polyols business has added manufacturing capability in Brazil to serve its fast-growing Latin American customer base. The first commercially successful soy-based polyols for use in polyurethane cushioning, BiOH polyols are now being made at one of Cargill’s existing vegetable oil processing sites in Sao Paulo state.

“We are enthusiastic about providing Latin American foam manufacturers the ability to purchase biobased polyols from a Latin American manufacturing facility,” said Etore Silva, manager of the Cargill vegetable-based lubricant plant located in the city of Mairinque. “Our customers will benefit from a local supplier serving their local needs.”
