Halma lays foundation for future growth in Asia Pacific

08 September 2023

Halma, the global group of life-saving technology companies, today opened a new shared facility in China, to support further innovation and growth in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

Fifteen Halma companies, operating across the Safety, Environmental & Analysis and Healthcare sectors, have re-relocated to the 11,000 square metre facility in Shanghai. Located in the Xinzhaung Industrial Park in the Minhang District, the three buildings house production, operations and R&D functions for the companies.

The opening of the new facility continues Halma’s long-term investment in China and the APAC region. Halma first entered the China market in 2006 and today it employs more than 800 people in the country, working in 40 operating companies. In FY23, 6% of Halma’s revenue was from China, with 15% of Group revenue from the wider APAC region.

Aldous Wong, President of Halma Asia Pacific, said: “The opening of this new facility represents an important milestone for Halma in the region. It continues our long-term investment and provides a foundation for future growth. It will enable new opportunities for collaboration, partnerships and innovation, leading to new products and services for China and the broader APAC region.”

Marc Ronchetti, Group Chief Executive of Halma, said: “Halma’s purpose is to grow a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day. To achieve this, Halma’s companies are innovating to address some of big challenges of our time, such as increasing demands on healthcare, protecting life-critical resources, the global efforts to tackle climate change, and keeping people safe as our towns and cities grow. With around 20% of the world’s population in China, it remains a key market, enabling us to deliver against our purpose.”

The companies housed in the facility are: Alicat, Arcmed, Crowcon, Firetrace, Fortress, HWM, Keeler, Labsphere, Longer Pump, Medicel, MST, Nuvonic, Ocean Insight, Perma Pure and Volk.
