Tuas Biomedical Park

Third parties are providing utilities such as steam, natural gas, chilled water and waste treatment services.

To improve the appearance of the industrial estate, JTC has spent $6 million on lush landscaping.

With the estate's "plug-and-play" design, pharmaceutical, biologics, medical device and other biomedical companies can set up manufacturing operations with minimal lead time.

They can either move into fully serviced facilities or custom-build their own manufacturing plants.

They include global biomedical players like Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Wyeth, Genentech and GlaxoSmithKline.
