Syensqo’s research and innovation site in Paris (Aubervilliers), France is the first facility in the industry to achieve the TISAX certification, which guarantees the protection of shared sensitive data. This information security assessment (ISA) certification is required in the EMEA region by the VDA, the German Association of the Automotive Industry.

Syensqo’s R&I center in Paris develops a combination of expertise and capabilities in inorganic, organic, polymer and physical chemistry, with a strong track record of sustainable innovation answering customer’s needs. In the automotive sector, the site innovates in the field of next generation batteries, additives to stabilize membranes in fuel cells, lubricants for steel cord as well as metal protection and anti-corrosion solutions.

Syensqo takes information security, such as data protection and connections with third parties, very seriously and, in achieving this certification, is proud to demonstrate its commitment to the automotive industry.

"Trust is essential in our industry and in our relationship with customers in the research and innovation fields. This TISAX level 2 certification demonstrates our ongoing commitment to information security and quality," said Florence Turpin, Syensqo R&I Paris Director.

"We look forward to continuing to support the automotive industry in meeting challenges in the areas of electrification, improved durability and energy efficiency."

The company’s R&I site in Alpharetta, Georgia (USA) will receive the certification in early 2024, and Syensqo expects to add more sites in due course.
