The Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Mich., USA, reported this week that it is continuing to invest in a "Packaging Center of Excellence" in Horgen, Switzerland, to better serve the needs of the packaging industry across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company will double the staff of its packaging center to a total of 20 - 25 people.
The packaging center combines the scientific and technical expertise of Dow's people, along with equipment and collaboration space for specialty adhesives, resins, and formulated films in one place. It will also enhance customers' ability to test materials and formulations for new package functionality and design. The center also will hold seminars and forums that will allow package makers and brand owners and others to occasionally share insights about the future needs of the packaging industry.
The Horgen center is also fully linked to Dow's other packaging centers of excellence around the world, including the Sensory Science facility in The Netherlands, and Films Application Development Centers in Tarragona, Spain; Freeport, Texas; Singapore; and Jundiai, Brazil.
