Other Test Locations
Apart from our main test facilities in Wommelgem, Halle and Columbia, MD, GEA has collaborations with a number of universities and private research institutes to offer trial opportunities in other regions worldwide.
GEA-ONN, Nanjing, China
GEA Pharma & Healthcare has collaborated with the National University of Singapore (NUS) for over 25 years, establishing an industry-university-research platform to effectively advance new drug development and production. Currently, GEA is partnering with Prof. Paul Heng of NUS to establish a joint laboratory in Nanjing, further deepening their collaborative efforts.
The newly completed 2,000-square-meter laboratory combines ONN's research strength and talent resources with GEA's advanced pharmaceutical technologies. It will conduct experimental demonstrations and applied research, providing customers with comprehensive support from small-scale to pilot tests. It aims to become a core hub for transforming scientific research into practical applications, driving technological R&D and industrialization in the pharmaceutical industry.
