AGATEX Feinchemie GmbH opens new Innovation Center in Edt bei Lambach
Edt bei Lambach, Austria – AGATEX Feinchemie GmbH has opened a new Innovation Center at its site in Edt bei Lambach. Following less than one year of construction and an investment in the seven-figure euro range, the new facilities were occupied at the end of last year.
“This investment is a clear commitment to our Austrian site and highlights the importance of research, development and innovation for our company. At the same time, our parallel investments in Thailand strengthen our international presence and allow us to be even closer to our customers in global growth markets,” says Managing Director Georg Bauer.
The core of the investment in Edt bei Lambach is the expansion of AGATEX’s research and development capabilities. This includes an upgraded chemical laboratory, a new application technology laboratory designed to simulate real customer processes, as well as additional office and meeting spaces. The application laboratory, in particular, enables product testing under realistic, process-oriented conditions.
“With this investment, we can support our customers even more effectively and significantly reduce development timelines. Developing solutions together with our customers is essential to finding the right answers to complex challenges. Our clear goal is to become the preferred partner of our customers,” adds Managing Director Nikolaus Bauer-Harnoncourt.
With the new Innovation Center in Austria and the simultaneous expansion of its international activities – especially in Southeast Asia – AGATEX is setting the course for sustainable growth, technological excellence and closer customer collaboration worldwide.
