Swiss specialty chemicals company Clariant will increase its investment and operations in China in the next two years as it taps China’s environmental protection needs. Clariant, with headquarters for its China operations in Shanghai, plans to build an integrated facility, “one Clariant campus,” to support innovation, research and development, sales and marketing. Construction of the campus, which will employ 500 staff, is due to kick off at the end of this year, with operations starting in 2018. “Our investment in China will account for 40% of the total in 2017,”
