MOSCOW (MRC) -- Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, has announced that its Business Group DSM Engineering Plastics has opened an office in the San Francisco Bay area to support the consumer electronics business and the rapid growth of this segment, as per GV.
DSM is leading the way in high-performance engineering plastics for the electrical and electronics sector and offers a portfolio of solutions for smart phones, tablets and ultrabooks. The placement of a team in this location will bring DSM’s research and development capabilities in this market closer to their supplier base, so the company.
Richard Pieters, President of DSM Engineering Plastics - Americas, commented, "We are making this move to give DSM a hub in the fastest-growing design area and be close to the designers and engineers of electronics, completing the circle as we already have a solid footprint in the manufacturing base. This places us closer to our West Coast customers, helping to drive early involvement in product design, leading to shorter development cycles and more efficient manufacturing processes."
The West Coast team will focus primarily on global electronics OEMs and brand owners operating in the region, in addition to which the center also will serve as a hub to support the electric-vehicle and sports markets.
The new office is located in San Mateo, CA, USA. DSM Engineering Plastics maintains its Americas headquarters in Troy, Michigan.

The completion of DSM’s largest materials center worldwide is part of the EUR100 million investment in knowledge and innovation in the Netherlands that DSM announced in May 2012.
