BYK will be building a new laboratory building at its site in Wesel. BYK estimates a total project implementation period of around four years. Completion is envisaged in the second quarter of 2028.

“BYK is networked with its customers worldwide and, with this innovative laboratory complex, it will be creating space for effective communication as well as for developments and cooperation with our customers and distributors,” said BYK Division president Dr. Jörg Hinnerwisch.

In the planning, particular importance is being attached to efficient energy consumption. Heating and cooling, for instance, will be entirely fueled by heat pumps and photovoltaic systems. An old laboratory building will make way for a total area of 5,100 square meters so that it can be fully integrated into the existing structure at the BYK campus in Wesel.
