“Asia has become the growth engine for electronic and solar cell markets. As customers continue to look for advanced technologies, adding infrastructure in eastern China is critical to provide them with the most technically-advanced materials, processes and service, in as time-efficient manner as possible,” said Helen Zhang, global general manager of interconnect technologies for Dow Electronic Materials.

“The new facility is well positioned to manufacture and supply materials to serve electronic and solar cell markets, and provide customer service and technical support locally. We look forward to growing with customers through close collaboration.”

“Greater China represents great opportunities for growth in the electronic materials business,” said Peter Sykes, president of Dow Greater China. “The new facility in eastern China demonstrates our commitment to this important region, and is part of our ongoing growth strategy in this market.

“When the new facility opens in a year, it'll mark an important step in growing our presence and product offerings for electronic materials not only in China, but also in Asia. “
