Covestro to work with L&T Technology Services on digital transformation delivery

Covestro has partnered with Indian engineering firm L&T Technology Services (LTTS) to accelerate its digitalisation programme.

The German polymer manufacturer is implementing a digital transformation across its engineering, operations and maintenance activities at its eight locations around the world and LTTS has been revealed as its collaborator in a multi-million-dollar deal.

LTTS will also help Covestro with its other major strategic initiative to harmonise its 'Global Engineering Standards & Practices' to increase efficiency of investment projects.
