Lexington’s government and business sectors are celebrating a first when it comes to corporate activity. The Funai Microfluidic Solutions firm has re-located its business unit headquarters to Lexington from Osaka, Japan. City Chief Development Officer Kevin Adkins said it’s the first time a Japanese company has moved its headquarters to Kentucky and made Lexington its home. Adkins says it’s right in line with the city’s focus.
“It is tech-based companies, which they fill and in the life-sciences space that they are also participating in. So, it’s the interlinking of two of our strategic targets,” said Adkins.
