Nouryon India has played an instrumental role in building advanced research facilities at the Institute of Chemical Technology's (ICT) Department of Polymer and Surface Engineering in Mumbai, India.

By supporting the construction of a state-of-the-art research, technology & innovation (RT&I) center and polymer characterization lab, Nouryon has significantly enhanced the department's research capabilities, underscoring our commitment to research and innovation in polymer engineering.

"This initiative reflects Nouryon's commitment to supporting science, technology, engineering and mathematics education and fostering innovation. By upgrading these facilities, we are investing in the future of scientific research and empowering the next generation of scientists and engineers, " said Johan Landfors, Chief Technology Officer at Nouryon. “Our partnership with ICT is a testament to the importance of industry-academia collaboration in India, driving scientific progress.”

Johan Landfors inaugurated the newly constructed advanced research facilities on March 12, 2025, along with Professor (Dr.) Mhaske S.T., Dean of Research & Innovation and Professor of Polymer Technology at ICT. The collaboration between Nouryon and ICT highlights the mutual synergies in research, offering exciting possibilities for collaborative research and industry projects in polymer technology.

“The upgraded infrastructure will significantly benefit our undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. students, enhancing our research capabilities and facilitating collaborative projects with industry leaders like Nouryon,” said Professor (Dr.) Mhaske S.T. “The new labs will also enable advanced scientific study, experimentation, and analysis, potentially driving significant advancements in polymer technology.”
