The new facility will facilitate collaboration, accelerate application development and increase speed-to-market for customers in the Asia Pacific region.
The state-of-the-art facility will be strategically located in a new hi-tech industrial park in the JinQiao Development Zone in Shanghai, and will focus on research and development projects generated within the company’s Specialty Engineered Materials business segment.
The new Innovation Center is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2014.
“We are very pleased to be making this investment in such an important region,” said Craig Nikrant, president, global specialty engineered materials. “Our customers in Asia will benefit from the expanded infrastructure, technical resources and unparalleled expertise that will be offered at our new Innovation Center.”
