Huntsman Corporation appointed Douglas Brady as president of Huntsman Building Solutions (HBS), its global spray polyurethanes foam (SPF) business. Brady succeeds Simon Baker, who is leaving Huntsman to return to his home in England.
Brady joined Huntsman in March 2018 with the acquisition of Demilec, a North American SPF insulation manufacturer. He became vice president of global innovation and product management for HBS following Huntsman’s acquisition of SPF manufacturer Icynene-Lapolla in 2020. Both Demilec and Icynene-Lapolla were integrated to form Huntsman Building Solutions.
“I’m excited that Doug has taken on the leadership of our spray foam business; he has deep market expertise and a strong track record of success,” Tony Hankins, president of Huntsman’s polyurethanes division, siad. “Moving forward, we’re optimistic about the opportunities for the business. We aim to expand spray foam markets, reduce energy costs, and improve home affordability within the new building code landscape.”
HBS is a leader in sustainable building envelope solutions. Huntsman Corporation operates more than 60 manufacturing, research and development, and operations facilities in approximately 25 countries across the globe.
