Bayer MaterialScience's parent company, the Bayer Group, may no longer get most of its money from chemicals and plastics but the unit's share isn't exactly immaterial. Though MaterialScience now ranks behind the health care division of the German conglomerate, with 120 sites throughout the world it still accounts for more than a third of Bayer's annual sales. MaterialScience makes raw materials for adhesives and coatings; it also manufactures plastics, films, and resins. Its products are marketed to the automotive, construction, footwear, sports, and textiles industries, among others.
