Biotec expand service to meet international demand

Bridgend based pharmaceutical services company, Biotec Services International, has expanded its ultra low temperature storage capacity to accommodate growing international demand for the long term storage of biopharmaceuticals.

The expansion, which will see ultra low temperature storage capacity increase by 300%, will enable Biotec to meet the needs of clients who require supplies to be contained at low temperatures for a considerable length of time before being dispatched internationally.

The move to invest significantly in the expansion comes as the company looks to expand its offerings to meet the needs of a number of blue chip international pharmaceutical and healthcare clients.

The increased ultra low temperature storage abilities will now enable Biotec to store material that has not yet been designated for use in trials, testing or for commercial use, but require long term storage in Good Manufacturing Practice compliant conditions.

Licensed to handle clinical trial material, commercial materials and named patient supplies, Biotec will be able to collect materials directly from  manufacturers and continue to provide a service by storing material and later dispatching to testing sites.

Rachel Griffiths, operations director for Biotec, said: “This is an important move for the company, as it allows us to meet the growing demands of manufacturers all over the world. By increasing our storage and distribution services on such a large scale, we are providing clients with greater flexibility and are offering them a complete and efficient service. Clients can relax safe in the knowledge that their drugs are being handled by cold chain experts from manufacture to patient delivery”.

Established in 1997, Biotec Services International has continued to expand in size, now employing 35 professionals and pharmaceutical experts.
