Azelis announces it has completed upgrades and expansion to its Wisconsin facility to create a new applications lab for customers and principals in the Americas.

The Wisconsin CASE application lab’s extensive capabilities will fully support the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) business along with the construction, mortars market across the US as well as Canada. 

The upgraded Wisconsin CASE application lab will serve to host Azelis’ principals, customers, and internal teams, thus enabling closer technical collaboration and training. The recent renovation has added expanded meeting space, team offices, as well as esthetic improvements to highlight the connection to the businesses the lab supports.

Since opening in 2010, the Wisconsin labs have grown substantially. As of 2023, Azeliz occupies nearly 10,000 square feet of laboratory space. 

“Innovation sits at the heart of Azelis,” Todd Cottrell, Azelis CEO Americas, said. “We strive to have the best lab facilities in the industry staffed with the brightest minds in formulation chemistry. The enhancements and renovations to our Wisconsin application lab adds yet another star to the Azelis constellation of high-quality labs located across the globe.”

“Our labs are a key component of our strategic goal: to help customers tap into our lateral value chain, to help solve their formulating challenges, collaborate with principals to understand materials, and innovate to find new applications for materials in our markets,” added Shiona Stewart, Azelis managing director CASE, US. “These state-of-the-art labs will also work with customers to develop testing protocols to best highlight the functionality of our formulation concepts.”
