Novasep has opened an office in Bangkok, Thailand, which follows the opening of its subsidiary in Bangalore, India in December 2013.
Prior to that, the company set up its Asia process development and engineering center in Shanghai, China, in 2012.
Through this move into Southeast Asia, Novasep aims to meet increasing demand for high efficiency processes in the food and feed industries, particularly in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia and the Philippines.
These countries are among the fastest growing economies in the ASEAN-10 countries, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
“We have equipped this new office with local capabilities, together with local sourcing and project management, for on-site process development,” explained Damien Brichant, Asia Pacific manager.
“Novasep can now offer more proximity and a premium quality service to our customers in the region.”
“The sound technical expertise and comprehensive market knowledge of our Thai team perfectly complement our first-class competitive offering from single purification units to complete ingredient production plants,” said Nadège Laborde, president of Industrial Biotech BU.
“Novasep has a strong and long-term presence in Asia. Our establishment in Thailand is a new step in our strategy to better serve our clients.”
