The new FMC European Innovation Center (EIC), expected to open in 2016, will serve as a central hub for research and development, regional corporate functions and regional commercial teams.

The new center will be located at the Scion DTU Science and Technology Park in Horsholm, approximately 25 kilometers north of Copenhagen. It will bring together employees who currently work at sites throughout Europe and the U.S, including employees in research, sales, marketing, regional management, finance, supply chain, human resources and related functions. 

"Denmark is a well-known center for food and bioscience research with an exceptional workforce," said Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman.

"It is a country known for its strong labor force and quality of living. We look forward to bringing these important technology and commercial jobs to Horsholm, while maintaining our manufacturing and associated support activities in Ronland, Denmark."
