Nelipak Announces Opening of Asia-Pacific Technical Development Center

New Singapore facility integrates flexible and rigid sterile barrier packaging systems development under one roof to simplify and accelerate package design and speed to market

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 March 2026 - Nelipak^® Corporation ("Nelipak"), a leading global provider of healthcare packaging solutions, today announced the opening of its new Asia-Pacific Technical Development Center located in Singapore. This new facility establishes an integrated technical development capability in the Asia-Pacific region combining Nelipak's flexible and rigid sterile barrier packaging design and innovation capabilities under one roof.

(L-R) Roger Prevot, Chairman, Nelipak, Aldin Velic, Vice President and General Manager, Asia-Pacific, Nelipak, Soo Haw Yun, Vice President, Global Enterprises, Singapore Economic Development Board, Pat Chambliss, Chief Executive Officer, Nelipak, Sean Patel, Vice President, Commercial Development, Nelipak

This investment marks a major milestone in Nelipak's global growth strategy and establishes a permanent technical and innovation presence in one of the world's fastest-growing medical device innovation and manufacturing hubs. Its strategic location in Singapore offers a launchpad to Asia-Pacific's medtech and biomedical industries, owing to the country's strong global connectivity and growing healthcare manufacturing and research capabilities.

The center will enable Nelipak to support customers across Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Korea, India, Australia, and New Zealand. It combines personalized real-time collaboration with Nelipak's global manufacturing and innovation network to ensure that packaging solutions developed in Asia-Pacific are globally scalable and production-ready.

Designed to enhance how medical device and pharmaceutical companies develop and validate sterile packaging systems, the Asia-Pacific Technical Development Center enables customers to arrive with a medical device concept and leave with a validation ready packaging design and physical samples. For device manufacturers, the benefit is immediate and tangible. Customers can engage directly with Nelipak's technical experts to co-develop and validate bespoke sterile barrier solutions, streamline iteration cycles and regulatory processes, and accelerate time to market.

The center supports the development of Nelipak's comprehensive range of custom designed sterile-barrier packaging solutions which integrate both flexible and rigid formats. Its capabilities are also designed to support ISO 11607-compliant development, risk mitigation, and accelerated commercialization for Class I through Class III medical and pharmaceutical devices.

"Asia-Pacific is an important and growing region for global medical device innovation, manufacturing, and consumption," said Pat Chambliss, Chief Executive Officer of Nelipak. "Our new Asia-Pacific Technical Development Center located in Singapore represents a foundational investment that supports our global customer base while anchoring Nelipak firmly in the Asia-Pacific region. It reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring customer access to our broad range of flexible and rigid sterile barrier packaging solutions which are widely used globally and have been used extensively in the region for over 30 years."

"Medical device customers are under enormous pressure to move faster without compromising safety, compliance, or performance," said Aldin Velic, Vice President and General Manager, Asia-Pacific, Nelipak. "Our goal with this center is simple. Customers walk in with a device and a packaging challenge, and they leave with an engineered packaging solution, prototype samples in hand, and a clear path to development, validation and commercialization. We are replacing distance, delay, and fragmentation with expertise, speed, and collaboration."

The Asia-Pacific Technical Development Center is equipped to support early-stage concept development, line extensions, material transitions, and risk mitigation projects, including changes driven by sterilization modality, regulatory requirements, or supply chain resilience. By unifying rigid and flexible packaging development in a single location, Nelipak enables holistic and optimized sterile barrier system design rather than isolated and fragmented component development.

"We congratulate Nelipak on the opening of its first Technical Development Center in Asia-Pacific. The new center will enable Nelipak to work closely with pharmaceutical and medical device companies in the region to accelerate product development and launches. The investment is a welcome addition to Singapore's growing biomedical sciences ecosystem and strengthens our role as a regional hub for medtech innovation," said Soo Haw Yun, Vice President, Global Enterprises, Singapore Economic Development Board.

This investment builds on Nelipak's long-standing commitment to innovation, quality, and customer collaboration and reinforces the company's broader expansion across Asia-Pacific. It also reflects growing demand from global medical device manufacturers for regionally based technical support that meets the same standards of rigor, speed, and expertise available in established Western markets.

SANYA, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 April 2026 - The ninth day of competition marked the conclusion of the sixth Asian Beach Games in Sanya, bringing the multi-sport event to a close. Gathering over 1,600 athletes from 45 countries and regions across Asia, the Games not only delivered high-level competition but also offered a window into the new phase of openness following the island-wide special customs operations of the Hainan Free Trade Port (Hainan FTP).

The 6th Asian Beach Games was held in Sanya, Hainan, China from April 22 to 30, 2026. The smooth staging of the Games demonstrated Sanya's capacity to host major international events. From competition venues stretching across 22 kilometers of coastline, to 22 designated hotels accommodating domestic and international guests, and the support of 4,680 volunteers, as well as touristic and cultural engagement activities, the host city's organization and services received broad recognition. Abdulaziz Baeshen, Secretary General and CEO at the Saudi Olympic & Paralympic Committee, said, "The organization of this Asian Beach Games has been of a very high standard, once again demonstrating China's outstanding capability in hosting major international sporting events."

The 6th Asian Beach Games was held in Sanya, Hainan, China from April 22 to 30, 2026.

The success of the Games was underpinned by the policies of the Hainan FTP. Benefiting from visa-free access for citizens of 86 countries and event-specific facilitation measures, cross-border travel was efficient and seamless. Qatari athlete Ahmed Elmeniawy said, "The entry procedures were extremely convenient. It took less than two minutes to complete all arrival formalities -- a truly excellent experience." An official from the Saudi Olympic Committee also noted that the FTP policies and visa-free arrangements facilitated participation by delegations and promoted bilateral sports exchanges.

During the Games, Sanya launched a series of cultural tourism activities and consumer incentive packages centered on a "spectating plus vacation" model, boosting the integration of sports and tourism consumption. At the same time, the Asian Beach Games served as a platform for exchanges among Asian countries. During his visit to Hainan, Thomas Bach, Honorary President of the International Olympic Committee, said he felt "the unity of Asia." Raja Randhir Singh, President of the Olympic Council of Asia, noted that despite differences in language and traditions, a shared passion for sport brings people together.

Although the Games have concluded, openness and cooperation continue. The event has provided valuable experience for the Hainan FTP in hosting major international events and demonstrated China's continued efforts to expand high-level opening-up. The FTP will continue to deepen international exchanges and cooperation with an open and inclusive approach.
