The Taipei CKC is a relocation and expansion of PerkinElmer’s presence in the country, where it has been for more than 25 years.
It contains detection and analytical instruments for providing instrument demonstrations, sample analysis, application testing, method development, education and training in food safety, environmental testing, and industrial applications.
In 1991, PerkinElmer established a service location in Taiwan. Its head office is located in Taipei, with an office in Kaohsiung, and employees in north, central and south Taiwan.
Nam-Hoon Kim, VP and general manager of global sales and service, said it was looking forward to sharing products, services and expertise in the region.
“Opening this new Taipei CKC in an area where many of Taiwan’s technology industry is situated is a strategic investment that enables us to further connect with our customers and partners.”
PerkinElmer’s customers in Taiwan include academic institutions, government agencies, foundations and large corporations.
The firm reported revenue of $2.3bn in 2015 and has about 8,000 employees serving customers in more than 150 countries.
