On Nov. 17, Gurit (Zurich, Switzerland) officially inaugurated its Advanced Composites Research & Development Center in the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA). The unveiling ceremony marks a significant milestone in Gurit’s global strategy, strengthening its “R&D-to-production” capabilities and reaffirming its long-term commitment to the Chinese market.

Set to be fully operational by the end of 2025, the R&D center will drive the development of next-generation, high-performance composite technologies. It complements Gurit’s existing R&D and composite testing hubs in the U.K., India and New Zealand, creating a more integrated global innovation network.

The Tianjin center will focus primarily on the research, development, analysis and testing of PET materials. Its close proximity to Gurit’s Tianjin PET manufacturing facility will streamline new product introduction, shorten development cycles and enable faster responses to innovation needs in the wind energy sector and beyond.

During the inauguration, Gurit and TEDA representatives discussed opportunities to jointly build advanced industrial ecosystems and address key technological challenges, supporting the region’s transition toward high-end, intelligent manufacturing.
