Leading specialty chemicals manufacturer, Songwon Industrial Co., Ltd. has officially opened a new Technology Innovation Center in Korea recently.

In line with the company's aim to strengthen its position on the global specialty chemicals playing field, Songwon says that the new center is a major milestone for the organization.

Not only will it support innovation, it will enable Songwon to take another key step forward in entering new business areas with high value and sophisticated technology.

Located on the company's Maeam site in South Korea, the center encompasses 32,000 m² and is currently three stories high. However, keeping an eye on the future, the facility has been especially designed with future expansion in mind and is constructed to allow the company to add two more floors later as required.

The new facility will host both R&D, Global Application Community and Technical Service. It will enable the organization to leverage the synergies between the groups, consolidate Songwon's technologies and support the complete development of new products from the design phase to final customer applications.
