Office Products International (subscription) reports that the remanufacturer’s Singaporean sales and distribution facilities have been relocated in order to “keep pace” with the company’s global growth, with the new site said to have been chosen as it allows Clover to “improve customer service levels and product stocking”, as well as “enhance logistical capabilities and empties sorting for the region”.

The news site notes that the new facilities are over three times bigger than the previous site, and that they have good access to three major motorways. Scott Odom, Senior Vice President for Clover in the Asia/Pacific region, told OPI that “the tremendous growth we have experienced in the Asia/Oceana markets was beginning to create capacity challenges for us in our old facility.

“This new, larger location, being just four kilometres away from our former location, provides us with the increased capacity we need along with the same exceptional access from anywhere in the greater Singapore area”.

Clover has also announced that it recently aided an injured US Navy Seal in his journey from rehabilitation to his home town. Bo Reichenbach lost both legs above the knee, suffered extensive damage to his right arm and hearing loss after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan last July, and has “undergone over 20 surgeries” at Walter Reed hospital in Washington DC since the incident.

Hearing about Reichenbach’s injuries and treatment, and seeing his family’s appeal here, Clover flew Reichenbach, his wife Lacy and son Landon from Washington DC to South Dakota on 11 June, with another plane taking them home to Billings, Montana. The remanufacturer stated: “We continue to be humbled by the sacrifices our servicemen make to protect our freedom. We are honoured to lend our resources to help these American heroes. We look forward to future opportunities where Clover can lend its resources to help our wounded warriors.”
