DSM Will Set Up Shanghai Campus

New location will accommodate 400 employees by 2008

Internal meetings will soon become easier to organize for DSM employees in Shanghai. The company, whose offices and R&D facilities are now split among three different addresses in the Shanghai area, will be consolidated in a single location.

The new campus will be ready to accommodate 400 DSM employees in the Shanghai area by the middle of 2008. Currently, the firm's China R&D center is in Gonglu, in northeastern Shanghai, and the offices are spread over two downtown buildings.

The new site will be located in Zhangjiang, China's most prominent high-technology park, on the Pudong side of the Huangpu River (C&EN, Aug. 21, 2006, page 15). Zhangjiang is connected to the rest of Shanghai by a subway line and highways.

DSM says its new center will have spare room to accommodate future expansions. The company, a major producer of vitamins and other fine chemicals, expects to double its sales in China to at least $1 billion by 2010.
