Eka Chemicals invest in new R&D centre in Bohus

A new R&D centre was opened following a SEK 40 million investment in Bohus. The new centre will support Eka's pulp and paper business and signals Akzo Nobel's commitment to this segment.

The new R&D center is primarily focused on bleaching and paper chemicals, but a significant part of the operation involves the development of separation products for the chromatographic purification of active substances used for producing pharmaceuticals such as insulin.
