    SINCE it began in 2012, the Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) has brought together over 100 manufacturing players – over half of which are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – with researchers and academia, to co-develop technological solutions.

    A research institute under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star), ARTC provides a platform where manufacturing companies with problems can meet partners who will help them create solutions.

    ARTC membership is tiered by size, with companies and solution providers at each level. The first tier is for industry leaders and original equipment manufacturers; the second for technology and service providers; and the third for SMEs.
