Last year, DKSH Malaysia announced the launch of its newly relocated distribution centre in Kuching, Sarawak. This year, its Business Unit Peformance Materials recently opened its newly upgraded innovation centers in Malaysia on 30 July 2025, for the food & beverage as well as personal care industries.
The food and beverage laboratory has been equipped with advanced technology and application resources that aim to support product development that enhance sensory attributes, functional performance, stability, and shelf life, meeting the dynamic demands of the food industry. With capabilities in ingredient blending, product prototyping in different final product formats, and process optimisation, the center allows DKSH to uphold formulation accuracy, accelerate development timelines, and reduce time-to-market for their partners’ products.
