Biesterfeld Spezialchemie is expanding its laboratory capacities in Hamburg with the opening of the Biesterfeld Lab and Innovation Centre. The company is one of the leading international distributors of products and solutions in the world of specialty chemicals and the food industry. Covering a total area of 800 m², the premises will be used with immediate effect for application-related laboratory activities. These include the development of innovative and market-oriented formulations, carrying out of product tests and customer-specific project work. The Biesterfeld Group also has regional laboratories in Norway, Turkey and Poland.

“In our application laboratories, we develop tailored solutions to cater for the needs of our customers,” reports Dr Lisa Nahrwold, Laboratory Manager at Biesterfeld Spezialchemie. “An innovative formulation, for example, can be made market-ready through the addition of additives from our wide-ranging portfolio and thus support marketing work. Alongside individual project work in accordance with customer requirements, the laboratory will be used to screen new raw materials from our partners and to conduct comparative studies. Comprehensive regulatory consulting rounds off our range of services.”
