Neuland Laboratories will open a dedicated process development laboratory and integrated kilo lab at its Genome Valley campus in Hyderabad. The new 135,000 sq ft facility will see $20m invested in a specialist fit-out and be operationalised in phases, with full completion expected by October 2026. Significantly, it has been designed as a purpose-built integrated scale-up laboratory dedicated exclusively to process development. Once completed, the site will take Neuland’s process development team to more than 500 scientists, making it one of the largest scale-up workforces in India. Unlike many contract development manufacturing organisations, where process development laboratories may also support discovery or other mixed-use workstreams, the new facility has been designed exclusively for process development. It will also integrate non-Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) kilo labs, allowing scientists to evaluate process performance at larger scales without transferring work to separate sites or competing for access to GMP capacity. This enables teams to continue process optimisation while generating real-time scale-up data in parallel.

IKA launched the next generation of its magnetic stirrer line, introducing the RCT basic and RET basic models built around the company's new ‘Integrated Safety’ concept and 100% tested via its automated RoboMAG production line. The new stirrers set a global standard for lab protection by combining safety features such as an adjustable independent safety circuit, hot plate warnings, self-monitoring, and continuous stirring during error conditions with advanced digital connectivity including USB-C, RS232, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and cloud integration via the IKA Lab Assistant App. With 800W of heating power, stirring speeds up to 1,700 rpm, and the smallest footprint on the market, the new generation is designed to improve safety, efficiency and ergonomics across modern lab workflows.

SL Laser expands the role of laser projection technology in the metal industry with solutions designed to improve positioning accuracy, reduce setup times and eliminate manual production errors. For decades, laser projectors such as the ProDirector 7 have been successfully integrated into industrial manufacturing environments, supporting both large-scale production facilities and metalworking workshops. Today, manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve productivity while maintaining consistent quality standards. SL Laser addressed these requirements with projection systems that transfer CAD-based positioning data directly onto work surfaces, welding tables and assemblies in a true 1:1 scale. This allows workers to position components precisely without templates, manual measurements or time-consuming calibration processes.

P&N Europe GmbH provides compact thermoelectric coolers for optical transceiver assemblies, helping stabilise laser performance in high-speed data centre and telecom networks where space, power efficiency and reliability are critical. Optical transceivers require cooling solutions with high thermal performance in very limited space. P&N Europe GmbH supplies compact thermoelectric coolers designed for integration into demanding optical assemblies, including TOSA and other laser package applications. The TEC design must balance cooling capacity, electrical efficiency, footprint, height, mechanical integration and thermal path optimisation. For this reason, P&N supports customers with application-specific solutions that can be adapted to the available package geometry and the required heat load.

MattenPlant announced the launch of its Pharmaceutical Water for Injection (Cold WFI) initiative, bringing Southeast Asia’s first membrane technology-based Cold WFI system to market. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, engineering consultants and industry stakeholders were invited to learn more at Matten's Booth B2-D20 at the Singapore International Water Week 2026 (SIWW 2026). The launch marked Matten’s strategic expansion into pharmaceutical water systems, building on its established track record of serving the food and beverage and pharmaceutical sectors, where hygienic system design and Good Manufacturing Practice compliance are baseline requirements. It comes as pharmaceutical manufacturing investments continue to grow across Southeast Asia, driving demand for compliant water infrastructure that can be deployed, serviced and upgraded closer to the point of use. The initiative enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to access locally assembled Cold WFI systems backed by regional engineering and service support.
