    SWISS specialty chemical logistics firm Bertschi is investing another S$35 million to build a second facility on Jurong Island - just a year after its first facility opened there.

    The group's expansion in Singapore comes amid the government's push to develop the specialty chemicals sector in the Republic and the firm's positive outlook for the Southeast Asia market.
