50 Years of Excellence in Products Made of Vulkollan: LUC Group and Covestro Celebrate a Milestone

June 2024 – The LUC Group is proud to announce a remarkable milestone, celebrating 50 years of unparalleled partnership with Covestro (formerly Bayer) regarding the revolutionary material Vulkollan. This long-standing collaboration began in June 1974 with a license agreement between Bayer and LUC in Brunssum. Over the past five decades, it has driven significant innovations and set industry standards across various sectors. We are proud to hold the only license in Holland.

On 10th June, Covestro visited LUC Group and presented an award to commemorate this special moment.
