Cytec Engineered Materials Forms New Industrial-Focused Commercial Team

TEMPE, AZ, Jun 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cytec Engineered Materials (CEM), a business unit of Cytec Industries
Inc., has formed a new group to address the growing need for advanced
materials within the industrial sector. The formation of this team is
aligned with CEM's overall strategy to accelerate growth by leveraging
Cytec's competencies, product portfolio, market position and global
footprint to capture high-quality technology- and performance-driven
growth opportunities.

This new group, led by Steve Stone, Vice President, High Performance
Industrial Materials, provides an opportunity to leverage the technologies
of the Cytec portfolio across multiple industrial markets, such as wind,
alternative energy, construction, marine and high performance automotive.
Mr. Stone has been with Cytec for 20 years, serving in positions of
increasingly greater responsibility in engineering, manufacturing, sales
and commercial management. He most recently served as the Vice President,
Performance Chemicals. He has substantial experience with industrial
businesses.

Industrial designers and engineers constantly face the challenge of new
applications that require weight, strength and cost optimized products and
materials. The rapid development in alternative energy and other
industrial markets is driving a new demand for technology creators to
construct and design these applications.

"Customer needs and technology are bridging the aerospace and industrial
segments," says Stone. "There is an increased use of composites and
adhesives in both markets and increasing demands for technology and higher
performance." Stone adds. "We decided to take advantage of the unique
industrial technologies that exist across Cytec and combine them into an
integrated platform that can service the industrial market. We feel our
technologies and focus will allow us to bring value to the customers in
the industrial market."

The diverse product and service portfolio is comprised of unique prepregs,
resin infusion, adhesives and gelcoats/top coats specifically focused on
meeting the needs and escalating performance requirements of the
industrial sector.
