PCE Adding Space to Help European Suppliers Enter US Market
‘Nesting strategy’ aims to provide established European companies with economical entry to U.S. market.
The Polymer Center of Excellence (PCE) is expanding its facility in Charlotte, North Carolina by 12,000 square feet and is creating a “nesting strategy” to help European companies enter the U.S. market.
The new add-on will consist of six, fully furnished 10 × 10 offices, which PCE is offering for lease. Companies will also have access to PCE’s lab for their equipment, along with support services and a conference room. PCE stresses that they are not looking to attract startups, but “existing companies in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy that have a proven product but have no office in the U.S.”
The PCE has one signed lease already. The expansion is expected to be completed by mid-November.
The PCE assists companies in the polymer and plastics industry with research and development, toll compounding, injection molding and material testing.
