Cytek® Biosciences Celebrates One Year of Operations at Singapore Facility, Accelerating Growth and Regional Impact
FREMONT, Calif., March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One year after opening its 8,500-square-foot Singapore facility, spectral flow cytometry leader Cytek Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTKB) is marking a major milestone in its Asia-Pacific (APAC) expansion. Serving as a strategic hub supporting customers across APAC and worldwide, the Singapore facility has contributed to Cytek's growth over the past 12 months, significantly enhancing Cytek's manufacturing capacity, regional service and training capabilities, and reinforcing global supply chain resilience while helping mitigate geopolitical and trade-related risks.
As life sciences research continues to expand worldwide, Cytek's Singapore operations stand as a critical global component of its regional manufacturing strategy, advancing scientific discovery and supporting sustained business growth in one of the fastest-growing regions for biomedical research.
"Establishing operations in Singapore has been a transformative step for Cytek," said Wenbin Jiang, Ph.D., CEO of Cytek Biosciences. "In just one year, the facility has strengthened our manufacturing footprint, improved supply chain agility, and deepened our engagement with customers across APAC. This milestone reflects our commitment to investing in infrastructure that empowers scientists to move discovery forward."
Driven by the growing global use of cellular analysis in immunology, immuno-oncology, infectious diseases, cancer diagnosis and cancer drug development, Cytek's Singapore expansion was designed to address rising demand for cell analysis solutions. Over the past year, the facility has enhanced production scalability and reduced delivery times in key markets. The site also features a dedicated service and training center that provides hands-on, regional access to Cytek instruments and advanced technical expertise in addition to its manufacturing operation.
"Cytek Biosciences' new facility has been a welcome addition to Singapore's MedTech ecosystem," said Marcus Dass, Senior Vice President and Head, Global Enterprises, Singapore Economic Development Board. "The investment strengthens our advanced manufacturing capabilities as well as contributes to life sciences research through the company's cell analysis technologies.
