BASF opened a new technical application laboratory for its nutrition and health business in Singapore to bolster its research and development footprint in the region. Located at Singapore Polytechnic and named as Newtrition Lab Asia Pacific, the new facility will work on offering analytical service and co-developing products with customers in the region. It will also fulfill the needs of the varied markets in Asia Pacific to deliver appropriate nutrients to consumers. As of now, the group's BASF Nutrition & Health Division has three labs in the Asia Pacific region. While Newtrition Lab China and a pharma technical center are located in Shanghai to serve customers in Greater China, the company runs a pharma technical center in Mumbai to meet the requirements of South Asian markets.
