All employees based at the company’s existing premises in Toufen will transfer to the new larger facility in Jhunan, which is closer to the company’s major Taiwanese customers.

“By 2012 at least 60% of Edwards’ business will be in Asia,” said Neil Lavender-Jones, president Asia Pacific of Edwards. “Taiwan is a key market for us and our investment in this new service centre demonstrates our commitment to our Taiwanese customers. By having a dedicated service facility in Taiwan we will be able to provide a faster turnaround for our products, which is vital to our customers in these high growth sectors.”
