On February 20, REPI officially inaugurated its newest facility in Singapore, marking a significant step forward in its long-term strategy to expand its thermoplastics business across the Asia-Pacific region. The investment underscores REPI’s confidence in the potential of Southeast Asia and reinforces its commitment to delivering innovation, reliability and sustainability in one of the world’s most dynamic plastics and recycling markets.

Located at JTC Chemicals Hub@Tuas South, the facility expands local production capacity, optimises deliveries and ensures greater responsiveness to customers across the region.

“This new facility reflects our confidence in the Asia Pacific markets and our long-term commitment to serving our customers in the region with greater speed, flexibility, and proximity,” said Filippo Angiolini, Chief Executive Officer of REPI Group.

For Jochen Ahrens, Managing Director of REPI Asia, the investment must also be seen from a long-term perspective: “This state-of-the-art facility gives us the flexibility to scale as demand evolves, ensuring we can support customers not only today, but as they grow tomorrow.”

“REPI’s investment strengthens Singapore’s position as an advanced manufacturing hub for specialty chemicals and sustainable materials,” added Soo Haw Yun, Vice President, Global Enterprises at the Singapore Economic Development Board. “The facility will deepen our capabilities in chemical formulation and performance additives and allow the company to better respond to the needs of the fast-growing Asia Pacific region. We look forward to REPI’s continued growth in the region through Singapore.”

Singapore’s strategic location, advanced infrastructure and highly skilled workforce make it an ideal base for the company’s regional ambitions. As Christine Wong, Assistant CEO of JTC, pointed out, investments such as REPI’s demonstrate Singapore’s growing role as a hub for sustainable manufacturing in the chemicals sector.

The Singapore facility is not an isolated investment, but a concrete expression of REPI’s strategic philosophy: global reach with a strong local focus.

Across markets, the Swiss group combines high-performance liquid colors and functional additives with local regulatory expertise. It supports customers with tailored compliance certifications, including JCIIEE certification for Japan and Halal certification, while also meeting international standards such as U.S. FDA requirements and EU Regulation (EC) No. 10/2011.
By integrating innovation with regulatory know-how, REPI develops cutting-edge solutions that are already market-ready and fully compliant with all relevant standards.

This year, REPI is bringing its latest innovations in additives for packaging and recycling plastics to major international industry events, including the Plastics Recycling Conference in San Diego and the Plastics Recycling Show Europe in Amsterdam, Plastics Recycling Show Middle East & Africa in Dubai, and Plastics Recycling Show Asia in Shanghai.
At these events, the company is showcasing solutions developed for local markets, confirming its ability to combine global expertise with responsiveness and speed of execution.

REPI also maintains active collaborations with industry associations such as RecyClass, PETcore Europe, NAPCOR, the Association of Plastic Recyclers and Plastic is Fantastic. These partnerships enable the Group to anticipate regulatory developments, support circular economy initiatives and foster greater global alignment across the industry.

By integrating infrastructure investment, regulatory expertise and active engagement with the industry, the Singapore hub forms part of a broader coordinated strategy aimed at growing alongside customers and supporting the evolution of sustainable packaging and recycling worldwide.
