Aquaporin expands by acquiring 100% of the share capital of Aquaporin Asia Pte. Ltd.  – subsidiary of the Aquaporin Group based in Singapore.

Aquaporin Asia Pte Ltd. was founded in 2011 by Aquaporin A/S, DHI Water & Environment, Singapore and Nanyang Technological University – NTUitive asshareholders.

Peter Holme Jensen, CEO of Aquaporin comments: “The full ownership of Aquaporin Asia is yet another important and great milestone in the global commercialization of the Aquaporin Inside® technology. We are busy taking our products to market and a simplified structure with a strong commercialization hub in Singapore helps us achieve this goal.”

Apart from sales and business development for the region, Aquaporin Asia also has key R&D functions for the group, including membrane pilot production. Due to a clear focus in support from the Singapore Government, the country is the center for the water business in Asia and a key location for the Aquaporin Group.

The Aquaporin Inside® technology is based on nature’s own 100% selective and extremely effective water channel. The aquaporin protein is found in all living cells and only let water pass. The Aquaporin Inside® technology replicate nature’s own way of filtering water by incorporating aquaporin proteins into our membranes, resulting in commercial products just as selective and effective as in nature.
