The new facility will include a testing lab and technical service center, a microbiological lab, and warehouse and distribution facilities. All equipment has been built and validated to meet or exceed ISO 13485 quality specifications.
Oliver Products Co. CEO Mike Benevento, says, “On behalf of the global team at Oliver, we are thrilled to open our new facility in Suzhou. Our customer base has grown significantly in the Asia Pacific market, and we are doing all we can to help drive and support their success, including opening this facility in addition to a regional office in Singapore.”
