DSM Personal Care has opened a new Technical & Application Center on its Shanghai Campus. Housing state-of-the-art equipment for Research & Development and Application Technology, the centre will enhance technical support and services for its customers in the region.
In addition, the centre will support DSM’s businesses in several other ways: by tracking local market trends, by proactively investigating the needs of customers and through interaction with external partners such as universities, scientific research institutes and industry.
Wilfrid Gambade, president DSM Personal Care, said: “Shanghai is an up-and-coming hub of innovation in the rapidly developing Chinese personal care market. This makes it the perfect location for a technical centre that represents a giant stride forwards in our commitment to our customers in China and Asia Pacific.
“Indeed, this region is increasingly shaping the focus of DSM’s research and innovation. The DSM China Campus in Shanghai is already home to a Science and Technology Center with a staff of over 100 people. Around 20 of these have PhDs from leading universities in China, Europe and the US and are collaborating productively with academic institutes in China and around the world.”
The DSM Personal Care Asia Pacific Technical & Application Center will use its access to DSM’s scientists to strengthen customer competitiveness by delivering research-driven benefits and solutions geared specifically to local and regional consumer needs.
