“The center will focus on supporting Asia's fast-growing industries, including developing cutting-edge energy-saving material solutions for strategic emerging industries as outlined in China's 12th Five-Year Plan,” emphasised Anthony P. Hankins, Huntsman's CEO Asia Pacific at the ceremony.

The new ATC will form an integrated technology and innovation campus together with the existing technology center that was opened in September 2008. The state-of-the-art facility will include machine halls, laboratories and offices and accommodate up to 400 technical experts from different business units and will complement existing Technology Centers in The Woodlands, TX, USA, and Brussels, Belgium, as well as smaller regional centers.
