The Asia-Pacific Innovation Center is now the home base for new Hill-Rom teams focused on R&D projects for global applications of various Hill-Rom products.
The Singapore Center is said to be part of Hill-Rom’s previously announced strategic focus on R&D aimed at ensuring that the company’s products uniquely meet the current and future needs of caregivers and the patients they serve.
Peter Soderberg, president and CEO of Hill-Rom, said: Our Innovation Center in Singapore represents an acceleration of our efforts to embed increasingly sophisticated and differentiated micro-electronics and software in our products. We also see the opening of this center as an important step in globalizing our products and presence.
