Brady has extensive knowledge in construction markets, with commercial and technical expertise in insulation, coatings, adhesives and sealants applications. He joined Huntsman in March 2018 with the acquisition of Demilec, a leading North American SPF insulation manufacturer.

Demilec and Icynene-Lapolla were integrated to form Huntsman Building Solutions, which is now the largest SPF company in the world.
Commenting on Brady’s appointment, Huntsman’s Polyurethanes division President, Tony Hankins, said “I’m excited that Doug has taken on the leadership of our spray foam business; he has deep market expertise and a strong track record of success. Moving forward, we’re optimistic about the opportunities for the business.
