Exponent established its first office in China in 2015. Since then, they have provided clients with on-the-ground testing and analysis services for manufacturing operations in the Asia-Pacific region.
Today, Exponent employs forty technical staff across offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore, that work as a single integrated team, providing engineering and scientific consulting services to solve complex engineering and regulatory issues. Their services cover intellectual property, product liability, construction and infrastructure, oil and gas, as well as specialized engineering failure analysis investigation for various consumer industries.
The technical staff support clients in the event of product incidents or production problems, helping them promptly resolve any technical problems or operational issues on the manufacturing floor or construction sites. Unlike ordinary analytical laboratories, Exponent’s team takes a multi-disciplinary, fundamental science approach to uncover the true root cause of an issue, which can help companies reduce operational cost and risk in the long run.
During the current pandemic, Exponent’s Asia team continues to support the high-impact and high-visibility needs of Fortune 500 and international companies while actively helping clients recover operations as workers return. They work to ensure client-supplier quality teams maintain quality and yield on the manufacturing line during current travel restrictions, support failure analyses of large raw material and construction force majeure claims, validate facemask performance at the source, and perform tests to help diversify supply chains and screen raw materials as companies resume operations. The multi-disciplinary team, comprising data and computer scientists, polymer scientists, and corrosion engineers, has also developed analytical software and visualization platforms to help U.S and EU-based clients monitor and track the quality of products remotely.
