BASF Nutrition & Health has opened its new technical application laboratory at Singapore Polytechnic.

Known as Newtrition Lab Asia Pacific, the new facility will be offering analytical services, as well as co-develop products with customers in the region. It will also provide nutrient information to Asia Pacific markets.

BASF global human nutrition and pharma solutions vice-president François Scheffler said: “BASF has consistently demonstrated leadership and dedication in innovation.

“With our advanced technologies and know-how in both human nutrition and pharma solutions, BASF is able to provide a one-stop, science-based nutrient solution to ensure that our customers are fully supported in delivering high-efficacy products and solutions.”

BASF nutrition and health experts will be working with researchers and students at Singapore Polytechnic to develop science-based solutions and concepts, in order to provide strategic customer support.
