Since the start of 2022, the company has doubled its headcount in Singapore and plans to further expand its presence in APAC.

Equipment manufacturer Evident, formerly Olympus Scientific Solutions, has announced the opening of its new Asia-Pacific (APAC) headquarters in Singapore, earlier this quarter. 

Part of the group's commitment to expand its business and operations across APAC, the new headquarters leads Evident’s strategy, technology and innovation in the region, which includes operations in Australia, New Zealand, India and Korea.

Since the start of 2022, the company has doubled its headcount in Singapore and plans to further expand its presence in APAC, with new job openings for its sales and marketing, service, technical, and research and development teams.

A manufacturer of life science and industrial microscopes, videoscopes for remote visual inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, and X-ray fluorescence analysers for elemental analysis, the group plans to strengthen its core business for its next phase of growth.

Akio Hirohashi, Chief Strategy Officer at Evident and head of Evident APAC and Evident China, expressed: “With a rich history in developing leading-edge imaging, inspection and measurement solutions, we are poised to pursue sustainable growth in the life science and industrial fields."

The new headquarters is equipped to drive this growth. It features a technology centre to expand NDT solutions with robotics, automation and system integration, a microscopy centre with a range of microscopes, videoscopes, NDT equipment and X-ray analysers, as well as a dedicated service and repair centre to provide technical support for customers.

Other highlights include an OmniTheater equipped with the latest audio and visual technology for an immersive experience, a studio with a green screen production setup for live-streaming, webinars, conferences and video production, and a mix of permanent work desks and hot desks offering employees the flexibility for hybrid work.

Along with ergonomic chairs, the desks are also height-adjustable.

There is also a work café to facilitate conversations and spark new ideas.

“We designed the new headquarters to be employee-centric to foster a positive and engaging work environment. This facility will be home to our Evident Singapore colleagues and become the centre of excellence, collaboration and inspiration for our Evident APAC colleagues,” added Jack Zhang Feng, Head of the Strategy Management Office at Evident APAC and General Manager of Evident Singapore.
