A delegation of Trade and Economic Ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), on June 11, toured Covidien’s state-of-the-art manufacturing and research and development facility in Irvine, California. Covidien, a leading global provider of healthcare products, manufactures neurovascular devices at the facility, which are used around the world as part of minimally-invasive surgical procedures to treat and save the lives of stroke victims.
Following the tour at the facility, Mr Lim Hong Hin, Deputy Secretary-General of ASEAN for ASEAN Economic Community said: “It was important to visit this facility in order to learn about some of the most advanced technologies in the medical device industry, and how these can contribute to bettering the health and lives of many people in our region.”
Organized by the US-ASEAN Business Council of Washington, D.C., the group visited several enterprises in the U.S., but Covidien’s plant was the only healthcare manufacturing facility visited by the delegation during their week long trip.
