Abcam To Open Sales Office In China

Abcam plc has announced that it will open a new office in Shanghai, China.

AsianScientist (Jan. 24, 2014) – Antibody manufacturer Abcam plc has announced that it will open a new office in Shanghai, China.

The new hub, the company’s ninth global office, has been established to support the company’s focus on increasing geographic reach and improving distribution channels to rapidly growing markets. The office is within close proximity of the city and its production facility in Hangzhouy.

“China is an important market for Abcam and we’re pleased to provide enhanced services such as faster delivery and dedicated local language support to our customers. Further future investments will ensure we continue to deliver innovative products and services to enable scientists to discover more,” said Dr. Jonathan Milner, CEO of Abcam.

The office will house customer and technical support functions, provided by native Mandarin speakers, as well as a product warehouse, which will facilitate local stock storage for the first time. This means that customers will benefit from improved delivery times, with the large majority of orders arriving at their door within 24 hours.

The proximity of the office will also enable Abcam to support customers with more specific needs through its products and services, including custom antibody production.
