Beckers Group has opened FutureLab in Liverpool, UK, and says it aims to function as a hub for creativity, collaboration, and cutting-edge research, while contributing to society by promoting education and local job opportunities.

The new center doubles the capacity of the company’s long-term development department and includes equipment that will be key for future developments, such as the enhancement of UV/EB coatings. Sustainability features have been incorporated into its design and build, including Beckers’ thermal-control coating on the roof that it says reduces energy consumption for heating, an active carbon filtration system on a VOC exhaust chimney and heat pumps to reduce CO2 emissions related to heating.

“FutureLab represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Gavin Bown, CTO. “This state-of-the-art facility embodies our dedication to pioneering new technologies and sustainable practices that will lead the coatings industry into a brighter, more responsible future. I am thrilled to inaugurate FutureLab and excited for the groundbreaking work that will emerge from here.”
