Beurer held the groundbreaking ceremony for the "Crushing and Dispersion Research & Training Center" in Wuxi, China, on April 9, 2025. The center is scheduled to be completed in June 2026 and will serve as a hub for research and development as well as training in a wide range of fields, including innovations in inks and coating technologies, applications in pesticides and cosmetics, and next-generation battery materials. After the center's completion, it will strengthen the R&D framework within China and provide efficient and advanced technical solutions to local and international customers, achieving sustainable development and differentiation. The experimental plan includes water-based and solvent-based crushing and dispersion of inks, paints, and electronic materials, as well as the formulation of lithium-ion battery materials and slurries, and the fibrillation of dry electrodes. Additionally, it will support the evaluation and development of polymers, ceramics, and metal materials, as well as the testing of auxiliary equipment. Plans are also in place to introduce experimental powder mixers, vacuum degassing machines, homogenizers, and particle size distribution analyzers in the future. In terms of safety, workshops will be established to handle flammable and explosive chemicals, and a strict management system for exhaust gas, wastewater, and waste will be implemented. The center will also comply with local government safety and environmental regulations, contributing to the reduction of compliance risks.
