CMC Biologics today announced that it is in the final stages of

The Company is completing the expansion of its state-of-the-art
stainless steel biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility, known as
PF2, to increase capacity and support commercial manufacturing with
the addition of a 3,000 liter bioreactor train. The modification of
PF2 is part of a staged major expansion plan that started with the
construction of a multipurpose single-use facility (PF1), completed
in 2010, and is expected to include the build-out of a facility to
house two 5,000 liter commercial-ready manufacturing lines.
“We measure our success by the results we deliver to our
customers,” said Gustavo F. Mahler, Ph.D., Global Chief Operations
Officer of CMC Biologics. “The expansion of PF2 will add
significant production capacity to CMC Biologics’ existing
facilities to accommodate growing demand for cGMP manufacture of
biopharmaceuticals.”
“The rebranding, which coincides with the Company’s tenth
anniversary, isn’t just about a new logo. It’s about our reputation
and image in the market,” noted Claes Glassell, CEO of CMC
Biologics. “The new tagline ‘Right. On Time.’ conveys our
commitment to our customers.”
