Trinseo Opens North America Innovation Center in Exton PA

Trinseo has opened a new North America Innovation Center in Exton, Pennsylvania, expanding the company’s regional research and development footprint. The facility joins Trinseo’s global network of innovation centers located in Germany and the Netherlands.

According to the company, the Exton site is designed to support materials research, application development, and collaboration across Trinseo’s specialty materials portfolio.

The opening of the Exton Innovation Center represents an investment in regional R&D infrastructure, reinforcing Trinseo’s presence in the North American specialty materials market.
