Clariant Catalysts expands in China with opening of new office in Yinchuan
MUNICH — Clariant, a company in specialty chemicals, announced the opening of a new office for its Catalysts business in Yinchuan city, capital of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region in China. With the new branch, Clariant becomes the first multinational catalyst provider based in northwest China, a region that is home to a majority of the nation’s coal-to-chemicals producers as well as numerous syngas and polyolefin companies.
Located in downtown Yinchuan, the new office will allow closer cooperation with regional customers, enabling Clariant to offer engineering services and sales assistance. The local team will be supported by Clariant specialists both within China and from around the world. The company’s expansion is part of its “China Insider” strategy, which stresses the importance of local expertise for technologies specific to China, combined with full access to global innovations.
The Yinchuan office is Clariant’s fifth branch in China. Clariant has two catalyst production facilities in China, one in Jinshan district of Shanghai, and the other in Panjin city of Liaoning province. The facilities develop and produce a variety of catalysts specifically for China’s market requirements and conditions. At the end of 2015, an R&D team has been established to better support the local technical needs. Clariant is also present in Beijing, offering engineering services and sales assistance to customers in the area.
