Effective July 1, 2015, DuPont is consolidating its corporate headquarters at the company’s Chestnut Run Plaza campus in New Castle County.

This follows a review of separation of assets and real estate associated with the separation of the company’s Performance Chemicals segment, now named The Chemours Company.

“The consolidation of corporate headquarters at Chestnut Run will optimise use of company facilities, support collaboration and improve efficiencies for both DuPont and Chemours,” DuPont said.

The DuPont headquarters will be a short distance from where the company was founded in 1802 on the banks of the Brandywine River.

DuPont has had a presence at the Chestnut Run site for more than 60 years. The DuPont Experimental Station and its Stine-Haskell Research Center also are located in New Castle County.

At the same time, Chemours will assume ownership of the DuPont Building in Wilmington and its employees will relocate to the building by mid-2015.

According to DuPont, the move will bring Chemours employees together in one location, enabling them to continue to build their operating model and to establish a unique identity and culture.

“For more than a century, we have been proud to call the city of Wilmington home,” said DuPont CEO, Ellen Kullman.

He added, “Looking ahead, we concluded that a single location for our headquarters offices will help facilitate the close collaboration essential to our success and to the growth of DuPont.” (AR)
