TOKYO--(뉴스와이어)--PHC Holdings Corporation (headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, President, Representative Director and CEO: Shoji Miyazaki, hereafter PHCHD) announces that it has acquired the remaining 30% stake in its subsidiary SciMed (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (headquarters: Singapore, hereafter SciMed), making SciMed a wholly owned subsidiary of PHCHD. PHCHD previously owned a 70% stake in SciMed. PHC Group, a global company which includes PHCHD and its subsidiaries, will use this acquisition to expand its life sciences business across the Asia-Pacific region.

SciMed offers life science products and services, including ultra-low temperature freezers and CO2 incubators, in Southeast Asia, India, and Oceania. Since 1992, PHC Group and its predecessors have partnered with SciMed to expand business in these regions through SciMed’s extensive distribution network, expertise in the life sciences field, and its service capabilities. In July 2020, PHCHD increased its stake in SciMed from 14.99% to 70%, converting the company into a PHCHD consolidated subsidiary[*].

The market for life science equipment in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow significantly, driven by regional expansion in the pharmaceutical industry and construction of new medical institutions in response to growing demands for biopharmaceuticals, such as antibody drugs and vaccines. As a wholly owned subsidiary, SciMed will be able to pursue deeper collaborations with other PHC Group divisions and subsidiaries, and enhance its sales and marketing structure across Southeast Asia, India, and Oceania. This will promote new business opportunities that answer precisely to customer needs, and accelerate the creation of innovative solutions that support researchers and healthcare providers facing challenges in the development of advanced treatments.

Nobuaki Nakamura, Corporate Officer and Co-head of the Diagnostics & Life Sciences Domain of PHCHD, said, “We are excited to welcome SciMed as our wholly-owned subsidiary. We have steadily expanded our business since SciMed became our consolidated subsidiary in 2020. In the near future, SciMed is well-positioned to become an operating location in Asia for other PHC Group businesses, which will expand sales activities in existing business and promote full-scale entry into areas of advanced treatments such as cell and gene therapies. PHC Group will continue to foster synergies between our global businesses, and contribute to empowering researchers to develop advanced therapies to help build a future of better healthcare.”
