American energy tech firm Baker Hughes opened its first chemicals facility in the region on Jurong Island yesterday.
The plant is part of its recent strategy to source and produce chemicals close to key markets, the firm said in a press release.
The facility will optimise manufacturing and ensure faster delivery of fit-for-purpose chemical solutions.
It spans about 40,000 sq m and will manufacture, store and distribute chemical solutions in the region and boost Baker Hughes’ localisation efforts.
Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong, who was a guest at the opening, said in a LinkedIn post yesterday: “The plant is well aligned with Singapore’s focus on capturing growth in the high value-added speciality chemicals sector and building a strong talent pipeline locally for the sector.
