We are committed to manufacturing excellence, to exceeding industry quality standards and to obtaining global and regional certification to help our customers maintain their regulatory and market compliance.

What are some of the key challenges you face in the APAC market?

The APAC market is highly fragmented, with varying regulatory standards and consumer preferences across countries. With a mix of both developed economies such as Japan and Australia and emerging economies like India and China, customer demands vary greatly, and each market requires a tailored approach. A resource intensive approach is often required to support in navigating varying regulatory frameworks and local requirements.

Additionally, the competition is fierce, with both local and multinational companies vying for market share. With increasing cost pressures on our pharma customers, the expectation is that we deliver value at an competitive price point.
