McLaren Applied Technologies Opens APAC HQ In Singapore

McLaren Applied Technologies has established the headquarters of its Asia Pacific operations in Singapore.

AsianScientist (Sep. 23, 2013) – McLaren Applied Technologies (MAT) has established the headquarters of its Asia Pacific operations in Singapore, its first registered MAT office outside the UK.

The announcement was made ahead of the 2013 Singapore Grand Prix, which took place over the weekend.

With a large number of multi-national high technology companies located in Singapore, MAT is expecting to significantly increase its client base in both the country and APAC region in the years to come.

According to MAT, Singapore will act as a hub, supporting the company’s entire Asia Pacific operations, enabling it to expand its business across the fast growing region.

“McLaren Applied Technologies and Singapore have a lot in common. MAT is a young, dynamic, fast growing, high-technology company and we see many of the same attributes in Singapore. That is why we have chosen to locate our new Asia Pacific HQ here,” said Dr. Geoff McGrath, Managing Director of McLaren Applied Technologies.

“We have a number of well established partnerships with blue chip companies that are based in Singapore or who have major operations here. There are also strong prospects for future growth in the country and the wider Asia Pacific region as we begin to develop new relationships with some of the exciting, cutting edge companies operating everywhere from Japan to Australia.”

MAT also announced the appointment of the first regional director for its Asia Pacific operations. Kok-Leong Lim has been promoted from within MAT and will take responsibility for the company’s activities across the Asia Pacific region. He will be based in MAT’s Singapore HQ.

MAT is one of McLaren Group’s most diverse and fast-moving businesses, covering markets including health and wellness, pharmaceuticals, energy and automotive. It is already working with a number of blue chip partners in the Asia Pacific region, including IO and GSK.
