Eppendorf to Support BioNexus Companies in Malaysia

Subang Jaya, Malaysia, May 10, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Eppendorf Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd has announced its support for biotechnology companies that have been granted BioNexus status in Malaysia. The support will be in the form of additional benefits to top up the fiscal incentives, grants and guarantees endowed by their BioNexus status.

Specifically, any company supported by BiotechCorp under its BioNexus scheme can avail preferential prices and free maintenance support from the designated Eppendorf network in Malaysia. This incentive was crafted to support the laboratory set-up of new Bionexus companies but is also open to existing BioNexus companies until end of 2012.

“The simple idea came about when Datuk Dr Mohd Nazlee Kamal, CEO of BiotechCorp, asked if there is anything Eppendorf could contribute to enhance the support provided to BioNexus companies,” clarified Ms Shim Yok Lam, Managing Director (Eppendorf South & Southeast Asia). “After all, Eppendorf has been in Malaysia since 1995, using Malaysia as a base for its regional support activities. We have watched the positive development of Malaysian biotechnology since then, and had been thinking how we could contribute in our position as a manufacturer and supplier of general laboratory products.”

Qualified companies will be contacted by BiotechCorp soon, and would further be receiving their incentive vouchers from Eppendorf Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd soon after that.
