SINGAPORE, June 28 (Bernama) -- JTC Corporation's Surface Engineering Hub, launched Thursday by the Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang, will be completed by the first half of 2013.

Lim said the hub is the latest JTC infrastructure project dedicated to the surface engineering industry.

"This follows what JTC has done for the other industries at the MedTech Hub, the Seletar Aerospace Park, CleanTech Park and the Offshore Marine Centre," he said at the launch, adding the hub will host surface engineering companies, equipment suppliers, chemical solution providers and plating technology researchers.

It will provide shared facilities, such as a centralised waste treatment plant, which aims to reduce the initial set-up costs and recurring operational costs.

To date, 13 companies, mostly small and medium enterprises, have already shown interest to take up about 40 per cent of the space in the hub.
