The Swiss headquarters of Archroma will host a conference and event centre, while the facility in Reinach wil become a R&D centre.
The global provider of specialty chemicals Archroma has recently announced that it is underpinning its presence in Switzerland with a relocation of its headquarters in Pratteln, near Basel. The already existing facility in Reinach will serve as a research and development site.
Archroma’s new Haus der Wirtschaft (HWD) headquarters will be located into a business hub that also hosts the Economic Chamber Baselland, as well as a conference and event centre.
“With our new HWD corporate headquarters we are joining a dynamic business hub. We are excited to refocus our Reinach site as a true ‘tech hub’ to provide innovative, sustainable solutions and services to our customers to help them increase the value of their products. Our science and technology expertise, coupled with in depth market, customer and regulatory understanding, provide the platforms for the creation of safer, more sustainable chemicals and practices in the industries we serve. With this latest development we are strongly reaffirming our deep commitment to our Swiss roots and presence,” stated Heike van de Kerkhof, the CEO of Archroma.
The TechCenter building in Reinach, designed to accommodate laboratories and technical expert teams, will return to its original focus on global research and application development, supporting the several Archroma Competence Centers (CC) located in Switzerland: CC Textile Finishing, CC Textile Repellents, CC Paper Coloration and CC Paper Whiteness.
