To better serve customers in the Eastern Hemisphere, Clariant is expanding its presence and commitment to the region, including Africa, Southeast Asia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Europe, the North Sea, and the Middle East. This investment includes a new commercial hub and a state-of-the-art Oil Services facility—the Eastern Hemisphere Technical Center (EHTC), which will open in early 2022 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

 

“These investments are part of our ongoing commitment to supporting our customers in the Eastern Hemisphere,” commented Anil Soenmez, Head of Sales, Eastern Hemisphere at Clariant Oil Services. “Our experts are dedicated to creating tailor-made solutions that meet the individual challenges of each application, and our new technical center in Dubai will make it possible to respond to all regional needs as quickly as possible.”

 

Currently under construction at the Dubai Science Park, the EHTC will provide a hub for all service laboratories in the Eastern Hemisphere. The center will focus on corrosion, scale, and flow assurance, and will have the latest equipment, including autonomous application testing facilities. Dubai’s location will offer excellent transportation links to all major oil producing countries, and the EHTC will collaborate closely with the Global Innovation team to rapidly address all service needs in the region.
