Honeywell sets up New Technology Centre in Gurgaon
Honeywell has opened a new technology centre in India, further expanding its technology development capabilities in the key areas, including refining, petrochemical, low-global-warming and nylon technologies and applications. The ceremony was attended by Shri Jaipal Reddy, India's Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas, and other dignitaries.
In this facility in Gurgaon, India is said to feature pilot plants for developing and demonstrating refining and petrochemical process technology by UOP, part of Honeywell's Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT) strategic business group. The centre will also perform other product and application development for PMT, including fluorine and nylon technologies. Honeywell invested $34 million in the 8,830-square-metre (95,000-square-foot) centre.
Rajeev Gautam, President & CEO, Honeywell, said, "This new facility will allow Honeywell to put its vast resources to work in collaboration with some of the brightest engineering minds in India. It brings the development of key technologies closer to our customers in the region and complements our other technology centres around the world."
The Honeywell India Technology Centre will primarily support Honeywell UOP's work in developing and licensing process technologies used in refining and the production of petrochemicals and renewable fuels.
Mark Turowicz, Managing Director, Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies India, said, "Honeywell is an industry leader when it comes to investing in research and development. This centre adds to India's growing strength as a global knowledge hub, allowing some of the best engineering minds to produce breakthrough technologies to be used in India and beyond."
