DKSH, the leading Market Expansion Services provider with a focus on Asia, received the Gold Award from American biotechnology company Promega for exceptional sales results and efforts in Thai-land’s forensic fields. Strongly based on DKSH’s comprehensive customer network among government institutions, universities and commercial research laboratories across Thailand, Promega was able to successfully increase market share in Genetic Identity applications.
DKSH Business Unit Technology and Promega started their
collaboration in 2009 and have since successfully expanded their business into Thailand’s life science field. Providing Promega with value-adding Market Expansion Services such as consul-tancy, marketing, sales and product training, DKSH’s pro-active promo-tion strategy resulted in significant sales growth in 2012.
Promega’s Genetic Identity kit used for forensic and paternity-testing applications is now widely used by the Central Institute of Forensic Sci-ence in Thailand. DKSH also provides the institute with reagents to cre-ate a cost-effective DNA profile database of convicted offenders.
Dr. Nicholas Ng, General Manager at Promega Singapore, commented: “DKSH Business Unit Technology won the Gold Award in Sales Excel-lence during our recent regional marketing and sales meeting – ProCon Asia 2013 – for their success in implementing strategies and tactical planning to increase market share. We look forward to continued growth through our partnership with DKSH.”
