Biomaterials

Since 1995, Nordmann's subsidiary company Melrob has been sourcing and supplying raw materials for the production of contact lenses, intraocular lenses, dental and medical devices. We work with a range of chemical manufacturers to offer a comprehensive portfolio of high-purity raw materials.
In 2012, we invested in a research, development and manufacturing facility in Singapore. In July 2020, to support our fast-paced growth we moved to the world-first, ready-built chemicals facility, JTC Chemical Hub@Tuas in Singapore.
