Recent Development

One of the top manufacturing companies in the US, DuPont Teijin Films has reintroduced Kaladex® polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) high-performance polyester films, which were first manufactured in 1992 at its facility in Dumfries, Scotland, and are now commercially available. Kaladex® PEN films have a higher glass transition temperature than PET and outperform PET in terms of long-term aging performance at high temperatures. Other inherent properties include greater dimensional stability and stiffness than PET.

The India Engineering Center (IEC), a new R&D and engineering facility for Thermo Fisher Scientific, has been inaugurated in Hyderabad. Thermo Fisher's newly expanded India Engineering Center (IEC) is part of Thermo Fisher's R&D Center of Excellence in India and will create 140 new jobs in the region. Thermo Fisher Scientific invests more than $1.4 billion in research and development each year. Furthermore, the facility will attract top talent and create job opportunities in Telangana.
