Thermo Fisher Scientific, a world leader in food quality and safety solutions, is planning to boost its local operations in Indonesia with the official opening of its first office in April in the country.
According to Sho-Wen Yeo, Vice President and General Manager of Southeast Asia & Taiwan for Thermo Fisher Scientific, “The company is committed to advancing Indonesia’s thriving science and technology landscape and support its progression in key areas such as healthcare, clean energy, biopharma and food safety.”
Over the past year, Thermo Fisher has taken significant steps to strengthen its presence in Indonesia, including the establishment of a legal entity in the country. This strategic move aims to enhance customer proximity and deepen relationships with Indonesian stakeholders. The establishment of the new office in Jakarta is set to nurture local talent and support scientific advancements within the community.
To lead the group operations in Indonesia, Thermo Fisher has appointed Devi Darmadi as the Country General Manager. In this role, Darmadi will spearhead strategic initiatives and go-to-market evolution, geared toward expanding the company’s footprint in Indonesia.
In the past, Thermo Fisher has also forged a strong partnership with National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia (BRIN, Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional) to strengthen research infrastructure and capabilities in the country. By leveraging its expertise and extensive portfolio, Thermo Fisher has become a key partner in supporting BRIN’s goal of improving competencies and capacities for Indonesian researchers.
Mr Yeo added, “Plans in Indonesia to transition to renewable energy, strengthen research infrastructure and elevate healthcare and biotech ecosystems are highly promising. I have great confidence in our growth trajectory here, and I believe we will continue to cultivate meaningful partnerships, enabling our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.”
