Lab and Innovation centre opens in Hamburg

German chemicals and plastics company Biesterfeld is set to expand its facilities in Hamburg with the opening of a new Lab and Innovation centre.

The project, which covers some 800 square metres, will be used with immediate effects for application-related laboratory activities.

These include the development of innovative and market-oriented formulations, carrying out-of-product test and customer-specific work.

Biesterfeld, who is based in Hamburg, also has regional offices in Norway, Turkey and Poland.

The new premises include an existing laboratory, which has been integrated into the new facility to form the full centre. Also present on-site are a conference room and a modern presentation and meeting area, which can be used for product launches and technical training sessions.

Dr Lisa Nahrwold, laboratory manager at Biesterfeld Spezialchemiem, said: "In our application laboratories we develop tailored solutions to cater to the needs of our customers. An innovative formulation, for example, can be made market-ready through the addition of additives from our wide-ranging portfolio and thus support marketing work.

"Alongside individual project work following customer requirements, the laboratory will be used to screen new raw materials from our partners and to conduct comparative studies. Comprehensive regulatory consulting rounds off our range of services."

Peter Wilkes, the company’s managing director, added: "We can also draw on even more extensive resources by working together with external laboratories and institutes.

"Our technology-based laboratory work constitutes a valuable service for our customers and provides customer-specific solutions. I am therefore delighted that we are also able to offer sufficient space in our Hamburg application laboratory for an interactive exchange of ideas with our suppliers and customers."
