INNOVATION LABS

Our Regional Innovation Centres

Since 2016, we have been expanding our network of application and innovation labs to support customers and partners across Southeast Asia. We began with the launch of three Regional Innovation Centres in Bangkok, Thailand – dedicated to Food (including separate Sweet and Savoury labs), Personal Care, and Coating & Resins. In 2024, we added a Performance Chemicals Application Lab, focusing on enzyme technologies, also based in Bangkok. In addition to our Thailand facilities, we now operate application labs in Jakarta, Indonesia and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, serving the Food and Personal Care industries.

Together, these labs provide regional access to technical expertise, formulation support, and specialised testing equipment, helping customers accelerate product development and adapt to local market needs.

Our state-of-the-art equipment combined with decades of combined knowledge and experience from our lab technicians, technical sales teams, and suppliers allows us to continuously create new innovative recipes for the local markets we support.
