You’ve probably zipped by the colorful Covestro logo on I-376 but did you know that this headquarters is also the birthplace of the stuff that sofas, bowling balls and LEGOs are made out of? This week we’re taking you behind the scenes of Covestro on Yinzer Backstage Pass to learn more about all the foams, plastics and other wild materials developed right here in Pittsburgh. Boaz gets a tour of their impressive facilities from Ben Renwick, from the corporate responsibility team, and visits the lab of research chemist Blair Gerger before meeting up with some folks from the testing teams who are making it rain.
Check out last week’s episode to sneak into the Riverhounds locker room.
