Axalta Will Locate Innovation Center at The Navy Yard in Philadelphia

Axalta Coating Systems announced today that its new Global Innovation Center will be at The Navy Yard in Philadelphia. The 175,000-square-foot facility will be home to Axalta’s global research, product development, and technology initiatives and partner with the company’s other technology centers in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The project is being developed by Liberty Property Trust and Synterra Partners, and Axalta has entered into a long-term lease agreement for the building.

Project construction is expected to be complete in late 2017. Upon reaching full operation in 2018, Axalta will bring at least 190 new jobs to Philadelphia with the possibility of additional positions in the future.

Axalta’s global corporate headquarters is already in Center City Philadelphia, and its North America headquarters is in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, with a customer training center in Exton, PA.
