Here we started our business in 2022; the former applied science center of DSM on the Brightlands campus in Geleen. Like many other companies, also DSM closed down one of its large industrial research centers in Europe. Some people complain about all that is lost. We are grateful for all that we were allowed to keep, with the support of former colleagues at DSM Firmenich and all other entities that emerged.
In 2023, we relocated our laboratory to the TU Eindhoven campus, while maintaining an office at the Brightlands site. Here, we serve numerous customers, big industry of Chemelot but we also benefit from the Brightlands ecosystem, enabling us to assist customers and partners with projects related to energy and materials transition, as well as circularity initiatives.
At our Catalyst Building location in Eindhoven, we regularly engage with customers and partners who contribute to expanding our capabilities. As members of the SBMC, we have access to their infrastructure and we receive support from PTG, the Polymer Technology Group, along with an expanding network of academic contacts.
