Bilcare Research AG announces acquisition of a new site in Singapore

Bilcare Research AG after having consolidated its leadership position in Europe, USA and Asia, widens
its global reach with the acquisition of a manufacturing location for high barrier films for the
pharmaceutical industry in Singapore. The new member of the group will operate under the name of
Bilcare Research Singapore Pte. Ltd.

“We do now offer the Pharma market a truly global footprint having production sites in Europe, USA and
Asia”, says Andreas Pfefferle, Global Business Unit Head for Pharma Packaging Innovations. “The new
facility and additional capacity combined with Bilcare’s superior customer experience, gives us a more
competitive edge to support and expand our customer base in Asia, particularly looking at the
exponential growing Chinese market. This acquisition fits in well with our Asia expansion strategy to
reach customers largely in China and elsewhere in Asia”.
