Clariant has broken ground on a new global headquarters for its oil and mining services business unit in The Woodlands, Texas.

The campus, which is slated to be complete by fall 2013, will include two 32,000-sq-ft, two-story buildings containing offices for both the global business unit and North American operations, the global and regional Oil Services technical center, a regional mining technical center, and an employee training facility. The new space will allow Clariant to double its workforce in The Woodlands by 2015.

The headquarters will be housed in Black Forest Technology Park.
