DKSH launched its unified global DKSH brand in Singapore and announced that the Group’s Global Finance Center had completed its relocation from Switzerland to Singapore. The financial hub will manage key finance functions which include Controlling, Taxation, Group Internal Audit, and a centralized Treasury to improve risk management. The key finance functions have been combined under one roof in Singapore in order to move closer to the bulk of operations and to provide greater management support.

Moreover, Singapore has been selected as the location for the Group-wide center for executive training - the Fantree Academy. Together with the University of St Gallen (one of Europe’s leading business universities) and the Singapore Management University, tailor-made programs on various topics relating to strategy and leadership challenges have been created, taking place several times a year.

Mr. Leonard Tan, Managing Director of DKSH Singapore Pte Ltd., said: “The name may be a new one, but our unrelenting commitment to helping companies and brands grow their business in Singapore remains unchanged. We have never ceased in our dedication towards constantly further developing our service offerings in order to become an even more valuable strategic partner for all business partners and customers. Our investments over the last years, the relocation of our Group’s Global Finance Center, as well as choosing Singapore as the place for our Group-wide center for executive training are a clear demonstration of Singapore’s strategic importance for DKSH’s global operations.
