10-01-2009: Kemira held the grand opening of its Atlanta research and development center which is located at Technology Enterprise Park on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology. The official inauguration of the center took place on September 29, 2009, with more than 100 customer representatives, local dignitaries, Georgia Tech officials and Kemira personnel participating.
"Kemira's strategy focuses on serving water intensive customer industries. The new center is an excellent example of how we execute this strategy and create a strong platform for our organic growth," says Harri Kerminen, President and CEO of Kemira. Global responsibility in Kemira's R&D network for paper tissue and recycled fiber research, oil and mining research as well as defoamer and polymer chemistry research are based at this site. The planning phase began in late 2008 and construction was started in January 2009. The building was completed with operations starting up in June 2009.
"With the addition of the new Atlanta R&D Center to our global R&D network, we have integrated our internal competences and enabled collaboration with strong partners such as Georgia Tech," says Johan Grön, Kemira's Executive Vice President of R&D and Technology. Kemira's other R&D centers are located in Espoo, Finland; Leverkusen, Germany and Shanghai, China. A fifth center will be established in São Paulo, Brazil during 2010.
