Bayport II followed in 1971 and Bayport III in 1974, expanding our capabilities and reinforcing our position as a global leader. In 2022, we added the RTBE plant, further strengthening our portfolio and commitment to innovation. Today, the site spans 280 acres and operates 24/7 to meet the needs of customers worldwide.
