Making it Outside Japan

Yokogawa Electric Corporation of Japan is one of the world’s leading companies in industrial automation. As a testament of its confidence in Singapore, Yokogawa established a $39 million facility in July 2007, housing all its engineering, manufacturing as well as Research and Development (R&D) operations under one roof. In line with the company’s vision to make Singapore its ‘nucleus’ for global engineering and manufacturing, and ‘co-centre’ for global R&D, the facility will spearhead Yokogawa’s regional growth and reinforce its global presence in industrial automation by 2010.
