Opening of SigmaKalon Research & Development Center Asia
Opening of SigmaKalon Research & Development Center Asia
SigmaKalon has opened its new R&D Center in Kunshan, China. This state of the art R&D Center will service SigmaKalon’s Marine and Protective coatings business in Northern Asia. Representing an investment of over USD 1 million on construction and equipment, the Center employs 28 professional chemists. Its equipment can reproduce the harshest conditions in marine and petrochemical environments. SigmaKalon has been active in the Chinese market since 1990 and has expanded rapidly ever since. In 1998, a dedicated protective and marine coating manufacturing plant was opened in Kunshan. Only six months ago a second expansion to this plant was commissioned, upgrading its capacity to 35,000 tons.
