The improvements further enhance the center’s ability to serve as a hub for materials science research & development through sophisticated labs, rapid prototyping capabilities, and collaboration spaces.
TekniPlex’s Global Innovation Center focuses on the development of new materials science platforms for a variety of everyday items, including packaging solutions for healthcare, food & beverage, personal care, and household products.
