To meet the growing demand for its services throughout the Asia-Pacific region, Quintiles announced the official grand opening of its expanded regional headquarters facility in Singapore’s Science Park I. Encompassing three floors of Science Park’s new Cintech IV building, the new Quintiles regional headquarters facility doubles the size of its previous space in Singapore and provides additional room for expansion as future demand grows.

“Today’s grand opening of our new regional headquarters facility here in Singapore is a major milestone for our organization and this region – a region we’ve been proud to call home for more than 15 years,” said Dennis Gillings, CBE, Chairman and CEO, Quintiles.

Quintiles is leasing a total of 79,000 square feet (7,300 square meters) of space in the new Cintech IV building – space capable of accommodating approximately 550 employees when fully occupied. In addition to variety of regional and clinical functional groups, the new facility is also home to one of the region’s most advanced central laboratory facilities. 

“Our new facility provides us with the technology, resources and scalability necessary to meet the needs of our customers in today’s new healthcare landscape as well as scale our operations to meet their needs in the future,” said Anand Tharmaratnam, M.D., Senior Vice President and Head of Clinical Development for Quintiles Asia-Pacific.

The expanded lab facility provides a variety of globally harmonized lab services and plans are already underway to expand these capabilities in the coming months with the addition of an assay development lab (ADL) and an anatomic pathology lab.
