WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
A European Kilo Lab Presence. Albemarle is pleased to
operate a modern, full-service kg-scale facility in the heart of
Europe, ensuring convenient customer collaboration and
in-person supervision through all stages of product research
and development.
Kilo Lab Work for Business Success. Without the important
R&D performed in the kilo lab—where we find the most efficient,
cost-effective route of synthesis—scaling up to pilot plant or
full-scale manufacturing can be risky. Our team follows
customer projects seamlessly from the lab scale, where routes
are identified, to the kilo lab scale, where a route becomes a
commercially viable manufacturing process. It’s a process we
insist upon for all Albemarle projects, both internal and external.
Safety and Quality First. Supporting rapid and efficient
development of complex multi-step synthesis from g to kg
quantities while meeting high safety and quality standards is
the number one objective of our Louvain-le-Neuve R&D group.
We feature local in-house analytical support and
process-oriented safety tools.
Your Local Link in a Global Chain. Our new facility is part of
the worldwide Albemarle Fine Chemistry Services R&D group,
providing customers with a much larger pool of chemical
experts; full range of tools and competencies; and the best
possible solutions in the shortest possible timeframe.
By providing full support at every stage of product development—from lab
scale to full-scale manufacturing—Albemarle’s reputation as a comprehensive Fine Chemicals
service partner is well established. Having the right resources in the right place at the right time is critical for our
customers—and now we can deliver even more. Our new multipurpose kg-scale unit at Louvain-la-Neuve will
provide close proximity to our European customers, especially during this important stage of your project.
