THERMO Fisher Scientific's plans to build a new US$130 million sterile fill-and-finish facility in Singapore, with the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), will create some 300 jobs once operational in 2022.

The investment is an "important addition to the manufacturing capacity needed by global pharmaceutical and vaccine companies in the ongoing fight against Covid-19," EDB chairman Beh Swan Gin said in a press release late last week.
