Bio-Rad increases presence in Singapore with its first Asia-Pacific manufacturing facility
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. held the grand opening of its first manufacturing plant in the Asia-Pacific region. The new Bio-Rad plant is located in Singapore. Occupying approximately 20,000 square feet of industrial space at Kaki Bukit View, the new facility will manufacture a variety of life science instruments used in medical and biological research labs worldwide.
"Bio-Rad has had a marketing presence in Asia for more than 30 years and just recently, we selected Singapore as our Asia-Pacific headquarters," said Mr Scott Jenest, Manufacturing Operations Manager, Life Science Group, Bio-Rad Laboratories. "With many exciting changes that are taking place in Asia, we felt that Bio-Rad needed a manufacturing facility that was in close proximity to our customers in the Asia-Pacific region. Singapore was selected based on its stable government, sound infrastructure, strategic location, well-educated workforce, and strong intellectual property laws. The location offers greater access to a strong supply chain in the region, enabling Bio-Rad to support its production facilities on a global basis. But in addition to those reasons, we are pleased to play a role in Singapore's aspiration to become a key contributor for medical development and research efforts worldwide."
