Werum establishes new subsidiaries in Japan and Singapore

Werum Software & Systems, a leading provider of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, is further strengthening its business footprint in the Asia-Pacific region by establishing Werum Software & Systems K.K. in Japan and Werum Software & Systems Pte Ltd. in Singapore.

With Japan as the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world, and emerging markets such as India and China, Werum expects the Asia-Pacific countries to be of growing relevance for its MES business. The new subsidiaries in Japan and Singapore will reinforce the local support capacities that Werum already provides in cooperation with its established solution partners in Japan, Singapore, Thailand, China, and Australia.

"Many of our large multinational customers with operations in Asia-Pacific as well as local manufacturers will improve their manufacturing quality and drug safety in order to meet international standards," said Hartmut Krome, chairman of the Werum executive board. "Our MES product PAS-X will be the key for such improvements. We expect future growth in the Asia-Pacific region to contribute a rapidly increasing share, with Japan and Singapore as the focal points of the business."
