INCOTEC opens new high-tech facility in Japan

On November 4th, 2011 the opening ceremony was held for INCOTEC’s newest facility in Japan, at the Wako Riken Incubation Plaza.

INCOTEC Japan will use the new facility to install novel and very innovative technologies like ThermoSeed which will be used for research on new crops and small-scale treatment for commercial purposes. This facility will also be the Analytical Service Center for INCOTEC in the region where we will produce analytical tools (such as gels) for customers in Japan and surrounding countries to analyze their seeds genetically. In the Analytical Service Center we will also carry out tests to monitor the effectiveness of our disinfection methods such as ThermoSeed.

The Wako Riken Incubation Plaza is a multi-tenant building, supporting innovative international companies involved in research and marketing of new technologies. It provides accommodation for several different state-of-the-art high-tech companies and technologies.

This location provides INCOTEC with a great opportunity to communicate and co-operate with these companies and the staff of the Riken research institute. INCOTEC’s research group will certainly benefit from this.
