Stefan Hagenberg, Azelis senior technical development manager, CASE-EMEA comments, “
We are thrilled to open the new CASE laboratory in Istanbul. In addition to round-the-clock formulation, the lab will be utilized as both a teaching and learning facility. We will work closely together with principals, customers, and our CASE team to bring new, innovative formulations to the market.”
Sertaç Sürür, managing director Azelis Turkey, adds, “
There’s no doubt that Turkey and the immediate region are fast growing markets with an increasing need of specialized expertise, technical services, and sophisticated formulations – all of which Azelis can offer.
