Increasing GENOVAC platform capacity and antibody development
services necessary to meet demand

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aldevron announced today from the floor of the Festival of Biologics in
San Diego, its expansion plans for its Freiburg, Germany facility. The
Freiburg location houses the GENOVAC antibody development platform and
became the second site for Aldevron in 2004.

Founding partner and CEO, Michael Chambers, cites the need for space and
capacity to support the company’s steady growth in providing world class
genetic immunization strategies with high-quality antibody generation to
customers across the globe as the major reason. “We have seen a marked
increase in demand, and this is an investment to better serve our
clients,” said Chambers. “We have been providing transformative antibody
development solutions for all target types for more than 15 years. By
expanding and enhancing our service offerings, we will be better able to
respond to the industry that is continuing to grow and provide the
solutions to some of the world’s biggest health challenges.”

The expansion plan adds approximately 4,300 square feet of laboratory
and production space to the current facility. The space provides
immediate room for growth in personnel and equipment for increased cell
culture, fusion, production and sequencing capacity while also providing
space for new services to be launched later in 2019.
