Huntsman Corporation has appointed Douglas Brady as president of Huntsman Building Solutions (HBS), its global spray polyurethanes foam (SPF) business. Brady succeeds Simon Baker.
Brady has extensive knowledge in construction markets, with commercial and technical expertise in insulation, coatings, adhesives and sealants applications. He joined Huntsman in March 2018 with the acquisition of Demilec, a leading North American SPF insulation manufacturer. He went on to become vice president of global innovation and product management for HBS, following Huntsman’s February 2020 acquisition of SPF manufacturer Icynene-Lapolla. 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,” says Huntsman’s Polyurethanes division president, Tony Hankins.
