Research and Development

From corporate strategic goal to R&D vision:

Reaching the strategic objectives requires continuous renewal of our product range. Active research and development (R&D) enables us to achieve our goals, because it builds a solid foundation for new growth and for strengthening our technological leadership. The resulting intellectual assets are used efficiently to create sustainable competitive advantage.

Our vision for our research and development is ambitious:

• We want to be a forerunner and leader in technology on a global scale in our areas of business.
• We want to be a world-class performer in all areas of research and development.
• Kemira has over 750 skilled people working in research and development, in 30 countries. We spend, on average, 2.5% of our net sales on research and development.
