WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

A European Kilo Lab Presence. Albemarle is pleased to

operate a modern, full-service kg-scale facility in the heart of

Europe, ensuring convenient customer collaboration and

in-person supervision through all stages of product research

and development.

Kilo Lab Work for Business Success. Without the important

R&D performed in the kilo lab—where we find the most efficient,

cost-effective route of synthesis—scaling up to pilot plant or

full-scale manufacturing can be risky. Our team follows

customer projects seamlessly from the lab scale, where routes

are identified, to the kilo lab scale, where a route becomes a

commercially viable manufacturing process. It’s a process we

insist upon for all Albemarle projects, both internal and external.

Safety and Quality First. Supporting rapid and efficient

development of complex multi-step synthesis from g to kg

quantities while meeting high safety and quality standards is

the number one objective of our Louvain-le-Neuve R&D group.

We feature local in-house analytical support and

process-oriented safety tools.

Your Local Link in a Global Chain. Our new facility is part of

the worldwide Albemarle Fine Chemistry Services R&D group,

providing customers with a much larger pool of chemical

experts; full range of tools and competencies; and the best

possible solutions in the shortest possible timeframe.

By providing full support at every stage of product development—from lab

scale to full-scale manufacturing—Albemarle’s reputation as a comprehensive Fine Chemicals

service partner is well established. Having the right resources in the right place at the right time is critical for our

customers—and now we can deliver even more. Our new multipurpose kg-scale unit at Louvain-la-Neuve will

provide close proximity to our European customers, especially during this important stage of your project.
