Actega opens new laboratory

Actega Kelstar and Actega WIT have opened a joint laboratory to serve the NAFTA region. The new facility will accommodate Actega Kelstar’s R&D and technical service labs for its aqueous, UV and fountain product lines, and also be home of a newly formed ‘Innovation Team’. The new facility represents an investment of close to USD $1 million. It is scheduled to accommodate up to 14 chemists and technicians.

‘Our brand new, state-of-the-art lab facility emphasizes our continued commitment to superior products and services for the printing industry,’ said Jim Wittig, vice president of innovation, who will lead the team.

Wittig will be accompanied by Dr John Arnold, who adds extensive knowledge and experience in the formulating of UV-curable coatings and adhesives. The teams bring a total of 60 years of experience to the newly formed organization and jointly hold 10 patents.
