Fuller Plans China Research Center

Industrial products manufacturer H.B. Fuller Company is to open a regional technical center in Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, China. The center will provide market research, development and testing for its range of adhesives, sealants, paints and specialty chemical products.

The lab, with a particular focus on the development of next-generation adhesive applications, is part of the firm's five-year strategic plan and is its first such facility in the Asia Pacific region.

President and CEO Michele Volpi says the lab is 'the freshest example of H.B. Fuller's deep dedication to our philosophy of customer intimacy', adding: 'To be an effective partner, we are bringing sources of innovation closer to our customers' doorstep and dramatically shortening their value chain.'

The company, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, had fiscal 2008 net revenue of $1.4bn and is online at www.hbfuller.com .

DRNO has reported on a number of research center launches by client side companies and partnerships involving academic and trade bodies in the last two years - among them Nationwide Insurance and the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State University (OSU), media research specialist Sequent and the Center of Media Design at Ball State University (BSU), IBM and the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders).
