SINGAPORE — Singapore’s first eco-business park CleanTech Park saw the addition of a new facility and tenant with the grand opening of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research’s (A*STAR) Advanced Remanufacturing Technology Centre (ARTC) and JTC Corporation’s building CleanTech Two today (Jan 28).
ARTC is Asia’s first centre for test bedding and developing remanufacturing technologies through a public-private partnership approach — together with strategic partner Nanyang Technological University. The centre will be CleanTech Two’s anchor tenant.
The CleanTech Two building, will focus on seeding new industry sectors for research and development in clean technology and advanced manufacturing industries.
“The Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) will be the anchor tenant of CleanTech Two. It is a collaborative research platform between A*STAR, NTU and over 29 local and global industry partners, such as Rolls-Royce, Singapore Aero Engine Services (SAESL), and Electro-Optical Systems,” said guest-of-honour for the opening Mr S Iswaran, Second Minister for Trade and Industry and Home Affairs.
“ARTC will be a game-changer for the remanufacturing sector in Singapore. It seeks to develop capabilities which will help companies in the aerospace, oil and gas, energy and automotive industries tackle the high component costs through remanufacturing,” Mr Iswaran added.
