Atotech headquartered in Berlin, Germany, inaugurated the Atotech Development Center (ADC) in Manesar, India. Though the facility was fully operational since late 2020, the pandemic delayed the official inauguration of the Center.
CEO Geoff Wild said, “The opening of the ADC is an important milestone for our company. It now serves as a critical component in strengthening our global R&D organization and will also drive the company’s overall innovation, growth, and success.”
Atotech provides chemistry and equipment for its clients that manufacture printed circuit boards, IC-substrates and semiconductors; and also provides specialty chemicals and equipment for decorative and functional surface-finishing in the automotive, construction, furniture and other industries.
The Atotech Development Center is the largest tech center of its kind in India, spread over 20,000 square meters of floor space. It contains 17 fully automated plating lines and 39 well-equipped laboratories. It serves as a global hub for Atotech’s development, testing some of the most innovative and sustainable products in the surface-finishing industry. Atotech’s customers from around the world will benefit from this investment through faster product-cycle times and a dedicated focus on delivering and supporting some of the most comprehensive surface-finishing solutions in the industry.
