The Dow Chemical Co.'s North
American Technical Service and Global Research and Development
Center for packaging adhesives and
coatings will move from Elgin, IL,
to Buffalo Grove, IL, in early April. The expanded Tech
Service and R&D
Center represents a
significant step forward in the company’s commitment to enhance customer
support and new product development. Buffalo Grove is located in close
proximity to Chicago’s
O’Hare Airport.
“Substantially strengthening
our resources and capabilities for our packaging customers - both in North America and around the world - was the motivation
for this relocation,” said Sarah Eckersley, global research and development
director for Adhesives and Functional Polymers.
Dow offers a range of technologies for packaging customers, including
solventless, water-based and solvent-borne adhesives. The company also provides
real-world testing capabilities to assist customers in the evaluation of
formulations on production-scale equipment.
The Buffalo Grove facility,
which opened in 1992, also houses Dow’s Microbial Control business unit, as
well as sales offices.
