Building on Ties with Japanese Market

SPT Labtech Ltd has opened an office in Japan, following long-standing partnerships with Japanese life science distributors. The new facility, the company’s second site in the APAC region, will be headed by Masahiro Matsushita as Director.

The company’s move to further improve the connection to its customers in Japan was also motivated by the growing Biotech and Healthcare markets in Japan, particularly the reased investment in valued techniques such as NGS and cryo-EM.

David Newble, Managing Director of SPT Labtech said, “Our ambition is to strengthen the company’s partnerships within the Japanese market and the establishment of a team in Japan will enable SPT Labtech to meet the needs of this community more effectively. From our existing sector presence, there is already much interest for our products and through collaboration, deep application knowledge and world-leading engineering, we look forward to working with more life scientists to help accelerate and elevate their research.”

“With a flourishing Life Sciences industry in Japan and increasing adoption of laboratory automation, this is an ideal time for SPT Labtech to fully embed themselves in the region. With the opening of the new office we are looking ahead to a collaborative future that will benefit clients and the life sciences community in Japan,” added Masahiro Matsushita.
