This new North American headquarters in East Windsor represents a substantial investment by Elementis and provides a cutting-edge technical facility to meet our customers evolving needs. This investment also represents a strong commitment and confidence in the central New Jersey business environment.”

Greg McClatchy, President of Elementis Specialties, noted “the Elementis team is thrilled to be located in Einstein’s Alley here in East Windsor, a great place to live and work, especially for a high technology specialty chemicals company.”

Mayor Mironov stated “the relocation of Elementis Specialties, a world leader in research and manufacturing, to East Windsor’s Sci-Park Science and Technology Center, is a major positive spark in launching this exciting project and will help to attract other global companies to locate and maintain facilities in our community.
