SHL to present & exhibit at 10th Annual BIO Asia International Conference

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 9, 2013 - SHL will be presenting and exhibiting at the upcoming 10th Annual BIO Asia International Conference from January 29-30th in Tokyo, Japan. BIO Asia is the longest running Asian partnering event designed specifically to facilitate collaboration between biopharmaceutical companies and suppliers. As a global leader in auto injector and pen injector design, development and manufacturing, SHL hopes to better understand current trends and demands of the biopharmaceutical industry in Asia.

Marketing Director Steven Kaufman who will be speaking at this event commented, “I’ve been looking forward to the BIO Asia International Conference since attending one of the BIO events in China last year. SHL is pleased to have the opportunity to not only introduce our company and products at this conference, but also to exhibit and demonstrate our injection devices to help other attendees better understand the benefits of auto injectors and pen injectors.”

The topics and structure of this conference are specifically geared towards Asian based companies who continue to expand their reach and influence. Commenting on this topic, Steven continued, “Demand for drug delivery devices will continue to grow and Japan is clearing an important market.  Japanese-based biopharma companies are investing more resources in developing new devices and are expanding their influence internationally with mergers and acquisitions.  With the majority of SHL’s device production being in Taiwan, it makes sense that we focus more on developing new partnerships in Asia.”

For biopharmaceutical companies that are interested in attending this conference and meeting with SHL, please visit www.bio.org/asia and once ready, send us a request for a one-on-one meeting.
