TOKYO — DuPont said it will spend $10 million to build an automotive paint laboratory in Japan to facilitate approval for sales of coatings to the domestic factories of Japanese carmakers.
The laboratory, to be built in Aichi Prefecture where Toyota Motor Corp is headquartered, will open in the third quarter of 2005 and employ about 30 people, the U.S. chemical giant said.
“This new laboratory supplements the extensive network of DuPont technical facilities located in the Americas, Asia and Europe that serve our growing coatings business with Japanese auto manufacturers,” Marty McQuade, vice president for DuPont Automotive Systems, said in a statement.
