Azelis announces it has completed upgrades and expansion to its Wisconsin facility. It is to create another applications lab for customers and principals in the Americas. Azelis is an innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry.
The Wisconsin CASE application lab’s extensive capabilities will fully support the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) business along with the construction, mortars market across the U.S. and Canada.
Step to Achieve Strategic Goals
The upgraded, state of the art, Wisconsin CASE application lab will serve to host Azelis’ principals, customers, and internal teams. Thus, it will enable closer technical collaboration and training. The recent renovation has added expanded meeting space, team offices, as well as esthetic improvements. It will highlight the connection to the businesses the lab supports.
“
Our labs are a key component of our strategic goal - to help customers tap into our lateral value chain, to help solve their formulating challenges, collaborate with principals to understand materials, and innovate to find new applications for materials in our markets,” said Shiona Stewart, managing director CASE, Azelis US.
“
These state-of-the-art labs will also work with customers to develop testing protocols to best highlight the functionality of our formulation concepts,” added Stewart.
The Wisconsin lab has worked to meet Azelis’ initiatives for ISO certification. This demonstrates a systematic approach to delivering value to our stakeholders. Application lab policies work to ensure that safety, compliance, and responsibility are foremost in all our activities. Since opening in 2010, the Wisconsin labs have grown substantially. As of 2023, Azeliz occupies nearly 10,000 square feet of laboratory space.
“
Innovation sits at the heart of Azelis. We strive to have the best lab facilities in the industry staffed with the brightest minds in formulation chemistry. The enhancements and renovations to our Wisconsin application lab add yet another star to the Azelis constellation of high-quality labs located across the globe,” said Todd Cottrell, chief executive officer, Azelis Americas.
