Arizona Chemical has broken ground on its newest Science & Technology Center in Savannah, Ga. The 27,000 sq. ft. facility is scheduled to open in December 2013, and is expected to cost $10 million to build.


The Savannah S&T Center will be home to Arizona Chemical’s US research & development activities and will replace the company’s existing research facility in Savannah.

“This is an exciting day for us,” said Carl Bilgrien, Vice President – Science & Technology, at the groundbreaking ceremony on March 6, 2013. “As a company, we are committed to a Vision of being a global leader in innovative, sustainable chemical solutions, and our newest S&T Center in Savannah will provide us with the resources to achieve that Vision.”

When complete, the new Savannah S&T Center will be home to more than 50 scientists and support staff focused on developing bio-based solutions for the company’s customers. “This new Center has been designed to provide us with a state-of-the-art research environment in a contemporary facility that will appeal to customers and attract science and technology professionals to Arizona Chemical and to Savannah,” Bilgrien explained.
