Lanxess to open new biocides lab
13/11/2007
In an effort to improve its competitiveness in the rapidly expanding Asian biocides sector, German chemical company Lanxess plans to open a new microbiology test lab in Wuxi, China, early next year. Managed by the company’s Material Protection Products business unit (MPP), the new facility will assist customers in selecting the right biocidal products and offer advice on related technical issues.
Commenting on the new lab Michael Gerle, head of marketing for industrial biocides in the region, said, “In Asia and specifically China, suppliers who want to participate actively in the growth of this dynamic economic region must be able to offer customers innovative technical solutions flexibly and locally. Therefore, opening up the lab in Wuxi is an important step when it comes to positioning Lanxess as a leading supplier in China.”
The company also plans to expand its service centre in Singapore in 2008 to offer new technical services including tests for determining the effectiveness of biocides in coatings.
