Solenis accelerates product development with new facility

Water solutions company Solenis has opened a new global research centre near its headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
The 100,000-square-foot facility features advanced laboratories, collaborative workspaces and pilot-scale testing capabilities to accelerate product development and customer support for sustainability-focused products and technologies.
It will serve as the flagship hub in Solenis’ global R&D network of more than 500 scientists, engineers, and technical experts, including over 160 in Wilmington focused on water treatment and pulp and paper manufacturing.
The new centre adds 20,000 more square feet of laboratory space than Solenis’ previous R&D location in Wilmington.
Designed for collaboration and innovation, the flexible laboratories encourage cross-functional teamwork, while open environments foster cooperation
