Addivant to set up first formulation center in China

Addivant is launching its latest “Customer Formulation Center” in Shandong, China. The new facility is the company’s first in China and will come on stream on August 1, 2014. The center will be available for the latest in “form-giving technology” including the company’s proprietary non dust blends, NDB? and equipment. It will complement the company’s existing Customer Formulation Centers in North America, Europe and the Middle East. 

Addivant delivers innovative additive solutions designed to improve operational efficiency, enhance application performance and improve health and safety in the work environment by eliminating dust in operations. By increasing its investment in the areas of R&D, the company aims to deliver new chemistries and build new formulation centers that are close to its customers.  

"The expansion into China makes tremendous sense given the region’s position in new polymer production and the fast growth of its downstream processing industries,” said Peter Smith, President and CEO of Addivant.
