Unitechem Opens Second R&D Center in Shanghai

UniteChem Group, a supplier of light stabilizers for a wide range of high-level industrial applications, has made substantial investments to further expand the availability of its technical support capabilities for customers in Europe and globally. As part of its commitment to investing 5 percent of total company revenue in R&D, UniteChem recently opened a second R&D and Innovation Center in Shanghai, equipped with state-of-the-art testing, analysis and process evaluation equipment. UniteChem Group CEO Junyi Lin said, "We are committed to extending our expertise, supported by more than twenty years of market experience with light stabilizers and other performance additives, beyond China and meeting the growing demands of global customers at every level. Our investment in the new second Shanghai R&D Center validates this strategy and is a logical complement to our recent sales expansion, including our European warehouse in Antwerp, Belgium and our newly opened sales office in Düsseldorf, Germany." The new Shanghai Center provides comprehensive testing, analysis and process evaluation support for global polymer and masterbatch manufacturers, major OEM brands as well as local plastics processors and compounders. Combined with technical and industry specialists bringing together more than 30 years of specialized experience in plastic additives, this more than doubles UniteChem's current R&D and innovation capacity.
