I Helped Make This: Identification Card

Paul Thompson, a 24-year employee in Deerfield, Massachusetts, works with specialty film materials used in multi-layer identification cards.

Covestro’s specialty films play a critical role in ID cards, forming multiple layers that provide durability, scratch resistance, and protection against tampering.

Every card reflects the care and collaboration Paul, and his team bring to their work. Our materials are designed to stand up to daily wear while keeping sensitive information secure. With recycled (RE) grade options available, the films Paul works with also support more sustainable solutions, helping reduce environmental impact without compromising performance.

Meet the Maker: Paul Thompson | Deerfield, MA | 24 years at Covestro

For Paul, the best part of working at Covestro has always been the people. After 24 years, he still describes his colleagues as an outstanding team—one that works together toward a shared goal.

“It feels just like being on a team,” Paul says. “Instead of making plays, we’re making plastics that have a real impact on the world.” That sense of collaboration and purpose is what has kept him proud to be part of Covestro for more than two decades.
