Solutia Europe - Laminated Glass Growth Programs

Philip Oesau

Solutia Inc., a spin-off Monsanto Industrial Chemicals, opened for business on September 1, 1997 as an enterprise that is already successful, drawing on a century's worth of experience in applied chemistry. Solutia Inc. is also the world's leading producer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), a plastic interlayer used to improve safety and security in cars and buildings. Our Saflex(R) brand product not only strengthens laminated glass but also increases other performance capabilities. Solutia is creating exceptionally strong growth opportunities for our clients, and their downstream customers. Our interlayer is marketed through growth programs such as KeepSafe, KeepSafe Maximum and Saflex Inside in the architectural market, as new creative systems and solutions to drive demand for impact resistant windows and improved comfort. Solutia's performance films have been launched in the automotive market with Enhanced Protective Glass, or EPG, a new category of automotive side and rear windows made with laminated glass. From that strong base, Solutia is now investing in a variety of initiatives, all designed to turn our strength in Performance Films products into a major driver of the company's growth.
