Aeda healthcare ramps up manufacturing capabilities with expansion into Hong Kong headquarters

Hong Kong – November 2007.

Aeda Healthcare Ltd – a recent entrant to the international healthcare market – has set its sights clearly on the future of manufacturing excellence, today announcing the relocation of their manufacturing headquarters from Taiwan to Hong Kong.

Originally a longer-term strategy, the move has been fast tracked in response to strong demand for their product, and in recognition of the world-class capabilities
and efficiencies that China has to offer. With manufacturing facilities already operating throughout China, the Company seized an early opportunity to
centralize their rapidly expanding production base, and so increase production capacity and logistical control.

“Hong Kong is undoubtedly the premier logistics hub into China,” commented Shane Swan, Product Development Manager for Aeda Healthcare, “and with the rapid growth of China’s manufacturing prowess, it makes sense for our Head Office to be strategically positioned in this critical gateway. The move is designed not only to supplement our existing production capabilities but to establish us at
the forefront of leading technological development and manufacturing excellence for the future”.

Although less than two years since Aeda launched their introductory product range in the US – the Aeria series – the Company has already expanded it’s manufacturing network into China ahead of forecast, and continues to invest in development opportunities to deliver premium product at economical rates. The relocation of the Head Office (encompassing R&D, Logistics and Warehousing)
into Hong Kong signals the Company’s commitment to the region and confidence in their future growth.
