Around 140 staff work the centre, “providing technical support for various products, such as automotive materials and eco-friendly recycled plastics”, LG Chem said.
The Frankfurt facility is the company’s first in Europe. It already operates a similar centre in Osan, South Korea, and two in China – in Huainan and Hwadong. The group said it planned to open one in the US in the near future.
