Shell bolsters business with new Shanghai center

Royal Dutch Shell Plc, the global energy company, has opened a new commercial hub in Shanghai on Wednesday, which it said will better serve its downstream business customers in China.

Around 400 staff, including 100 from its national corporate headquarters in Beijing, will work at the facility, including its lubricants, corporate sourcing, marine products, bitumen, and sulfur and chemical sales functions.

The company's Shell Shanghai University was opened on the same day at the center.
