Bayer Opens Korean Development Center Focused on Polycarbonate Applications:: 14 Jan 2013 :: Seoul - Bayer MaterialScience has opened its first Polymer Development & Technology Center in South Korea, with a goal of developing new polycarbonate applications for Korean firms. Located in Yongin, near Seoul, the new center adds to Bayer's global network of research and development hubs, and is supported by its network of major production sites in the Asia Pacific region. "Over the past decade, Korea has emerged as a center for cutting-edge, high-tech products," noted Michael Koenig, executive committee member and head of Bayer's polycarbonate business unit. "Large Korean companies are offering their latest technology worldwide, but their development and research mainly happens in Korea. With our new tech center, we can be closer to them, better engage in long-term R&D partnerships and fulfill their needs with greater effi-ciency and speed." The center, which Koenig believes will become a driving force in the further development of innovative products in Korea, will provide technical advice for Korean customers regarding high-tech polycarbonate applications. |
