Celanese Corporation has opened a Celanese Commercial Technology Center in the high technology valley of Pangyo, Republic of Korea. The research and development centre will support the growth of Celanese customers in South Korea, advance the technical capabilities of the Celanese product portfolio, and ensure the company is growing with its global customer base.
"South Korea is at the forefront of many of today's global technologies, and some of the world's most significant innovations are coming from this region. For Celanese to best serve our customers - and advance the creation of their products and solutions - we need our research and development team to have a strong presence in South Korea. This centre creates a place for our technologists to continue to work directly with our customers and have meaningful interactions that will help Celanese become their first-choice chemistry solution source,” said Mark Rohr, Chairman and CEO, Celanese.
The centre will support the technology and chemistry innovations which serve such industries as electrical and electronics, automotive, consumer products, and information technology, as well as the emerging markets of life sciences, robotics and semiconductors. The team of talented technologists will support Celanese customers in the region who are accelerating global product innovations such as smartphone technology, tablet and computer application systems, information technology devices, electric vehicles and battery storage systems.
The Celanese Commercial Technology Center - Korea is the second research and development facility for Celanese in the Asia region. In 2010, the Celanese Commercial Technology Center - Shanghai was established to support the company's Asia businesses, customer application development, and research and development resources within China.
