The 400,000 sq ft facility was designed with sustainability in mind to minimise environmental impact. Careful planning and hard work by the Insulet team has paved the way to earn both Green Building Index and Leadership in Energy and Environmental silver certifications, the gold standards for sustainable building.
DIABETES represents a global health crisis, profoundly impacting the lives of 537 million people worldwide, including approximately 64 million who rely on daily insulin injections for disease management.
Insulet (NASDAQ: PODD) is an innovative medical device company dedicated to simplifying life for people with diabetes and other conditions through its Omnipod product platform.
Insulet president and chief executive officer, Jim Hollingshead says “Insulet is a mission-driven company that for nearly 25 years has been squarely focused on improving the lives of people with diabetes.

The company recently opened its state-of-the-art 400,000 sq ft space facility in Malaysia. Throughout the design process, the Insulet team remained dedicated to environmental sustainability by integrating pre- and post-recycled content and utilising regional materials in the building.

Three electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are available to promote EV usage amongst employees.
