The nine laboratories, with an effective floor area of 2,500 square metres, include a hydraulic test bed and a prototyping centre.

“This centre will allow us to offer our customers around the world sustained support in bringing new, top-quality systems and technologies to market even faster,” said Continental chairman, Elmer Degenhart.

The move complements Continental’s opening of a research and development centre in Romania last week in a US$25.5m investment.
