MAINBOARD-listed Hyflux Ltd today announced its expansion
plans and investments for its global headquarters to be named “Hyflux Innovation Centre” and a new membrane manufacturing facility to be called “Hyflux Production Hub”.
Hyflux Innovation Centre, which will be developed on a site which is approximately 1.7 hectares located in Bendemeer, Singapore, will house Hyflux’s new global headquarters which will serve
as the nerve centre of its global operations.
When completed, the centre is expected to have a gross floor area of about 32,000 square metres. The design, R&D and commercialization centre located there will spearhead development of advanced membrane technologies in water and process treatment for both municipal and industrial applications. It will also serve as a centre for collaborative research efforts with its strategic partners, the universities and research institutes.
Further, Hyflux’s production capacity in terms of membranes and process engineering systems will be expanded to support its projects and in response to anticipated market demand. The new Hyflux Production Hub located in Tuas, Singapore sits on a site which is about 7.7 hectares and is expected to have a gross floor area of more than 75,000 square metres when fully completed. The Production Hub will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. In addition, it will integrate Hyflux’s production sites and increase production capacity by manifolds.
Both sites will be developed in phases and the total investment for the Hyflux Innovation Centre and Hyflux Production Hub is expected to be in the region of S$120 million, injected over the next three to five years.
The above plans are not expected to have a material impact on the Hyflux Group’s financials for the current financial year.
