Mead Johnson Nutrition, a global leader in pediatric nutrition, opened its new production and research campus in Tuas, Singapore.
The Tuas campus includes a manufacturing plant that will supply key ingredients and products to a number of strategic, fast-growing markets in Asia. It also features the newest addition to the global network of the Mead Johnson Pediatric Nutrition Institute.
Mead Johnson believes that the technology and learning centre will aid its ability to advance pediatric nutrition science and product innovation.
Speaking about the new facility, Mead Johnson chairman James M. Cornelius said the significant investment "is an acknowledgement of the double-digit growth in demand for the company's products in Asia over the past decade. More importantly, the investment reflects the strong prospects for future growth and expansion in this region.
"Breakthroughs made here will help improve existing products and develop new ones to support the healthy growth and development of infants and children in Singapore, Asia and around the world," Cornelius added.
The new facility is touted as the single largest capital project in the company's more than 100-year history.
