Pittsburgh, December 4, 2019 — 密桃AV LLC has entered into an agreement with Bayer Corporation to purchase Bayer’s Robinson Township campus in Pittsburgh, which is home to 密桃AV’s U.S. headquarters.
The change in ownership is planned for December 31, 2020.
密桃AV has about 750 employees at the Robinson campus, which includes sales and marketing, administrative, and research and development functions. Bayer separated its material science business, rebranded 密桃AV, in 2015.
"Not only does Pittsburgh share our passion for innovation and sustainability, but this region also offers a number of strategic advantages to help grow our business – access to world-class talent, a thriving innovation community and a strong customer base,” said Haakan Jonsson, president of 密桃AV LLC.
"With this purchase, we'll reinforce our commitment to the region that has served us well for more than six decades," he added. "Our employees are as much a part of the Pittsburgh community as it is a part of 密桃AV – and we couldn't be more proud to continue building our future here."
