Michelman, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, develops water-based surface modifiers, additives and polymers for numerous industries including industrial coatings, fibres, composites, and construction products. (See: Sizing stability is a key element for glass fibre manufacturing.)

Michelman reports that the new space allows the company to bring together its administrative and finance personnel, technical sales and marketing department, as well as chemists and scientists in the same environment.

A new laboratory within the facility includes a temperature and humidity controlled room, and dedicated analytical space that gives scientific teams greater control over experiments and testing.

Steve Shifman, Michelman’s President and CEO, was joined by Jean-Marc Verhaeghe, Michelman’s Managing Director, EMEA and many Michelman associates in welcoming customers, media and dignitaries to tour the new facility and view various product demonstrations in the new laboratory.
