Huntsman Chemical - Our namesake


Sure they messed up on the name of our University (see photo to the left), but hey, they did give a fine presentation followed by a enjoyable tour and lunch.

The introduction presentation about what shaped Europe was especially enlightening.  When the presenter framed Europe the way he did it really made it look like the European Union must have taken a miracle to come about.  All of the presenters seemed to talk a lot about energy conservation and being environmentally friendly, which might be part of a larger initiative being pushed within the company.  It was mentioned that the EU mostly regulated the company, because the EU deals with environment protection.  The tour of the facilities was pleasant in that it provided an opportunity to see all of the types of products that come from or are possible because of Huntsman Chemical.
