Evonik has opened a new coating additives laboratory at its Tuzla, Istanbul site to support customers in Turkey and the Middle East.
The application technology laboratory can formulate, apply, and test a variety of coatings and printing inks in water-based, solvent-based, or radiation-curing formats. The laboratory also includes a spray booth and climatic chamber.
“The new laboratory strengthens our presence in the region,” said Evonik Coating Additives business line head, Gaetano Blanda. “It enhances our market proximity and enables us to provide customers with technical service and product solutions for the development of new formulations even faster.”
The new laboratory and adjacent customer service centre has created two new jobs and is staffed by five employees in total.
From its Tuzla site east of Istanbul, Evonik Ticaret manages distribution for the Turkish domestic market and exports to adjacent growth areas with a staff of fifty employees. Evonik Ticaret will celebrate its 30th anniversary in Turkey in August this year.
Evonik’s products in Turkey include monomers, amino acids, cyanides, silicas and superabsorbents. The Group also holds 51% of shares in Egesil Kimya Sanayi & Ticaret, a joint venture based in Adapazari near Istanbul for the production of silica.
