Evonik’s Comfort & Insulation business opens Technical Service Center in Singapore

“Opening this Technical Service Center represents a milestone in our regional strategy of becoming preferred cooperation partner by ensuring a greater coverage of our trustworthy partnership and technical expertise on the Asian market”, said Dr. Tammo Boinowitz, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Evonik's Comfort & Insulation business.

“With the official opening of the Technical Service Center, Comfort & Insulation opens a new chapter of our polyurethane business in this region. This center enables us to expand our competitive edge as well as acquire a more sustainable market share and profitable business via our value selling approach,” said Kim Leng Goh, regional business manager of Comfort & Insulation.

The new lab will strengthen the Comfort & Insulation business in this growth region by offering consultative support and reinforcing customer relations. To increase the response time, understanding of regional needs, and local trouble-shooting of technical problems, Singapore has been chosen as the regional hub. In addition, Singapore offers access to a highly educated work force in the region and is in ideal proximity to customers’ facilities.

Beside the new Technical Service Center in Singapore, which supports application development, Comfort & Insulation has been successfully producing polyurethane additives for over ten years at the Shanghai-Xinzhuang Site in China. According to Evonik, this underlines the philosophy of continued innovation and improvement that the business line espouses for its future global polyurethane additive business.
