    GLOBAL healthcare firm Abbott has opened its first nutrition pilot plant in Asia here, a US$24 million investment which will also serve as the group's second research and development (R&D) hub outside the US.

    Aside from enabling the firm to respond swiftly to the changing healthcare needs of consumers in Asia, its presence in Singapore will also allow Abbott to incorporate local flavours, the company said.
