Cambrex company Q1 Scientific marked a decade in the Déise last week.
The stability storage company was founded in Waterford by scientist Louise Grubb in 2013, offering environmentally controlled stability storage services for the pharmaceutical, medical device and life sciences industries.
Over the past six years, the company has expanded both its Waterford and European facilities under Managing Director Stephen Delaney.
The company also officially announced a brand new state-of-the-art facility in Durham, North Carolina.
Tom Loewald, CEO at Cambrex, said: “We are thrilled to expand Q1 Scientific's reach into Durham, North Carolina, enhancing our ability to serve pharmaceutical companies across North America.
"This investment not only broadens our footprint but also leverages Q1 Scientific’s extensive expertise in the stability storage business.”
He continued: “Q1 Scientific’s expansion into Durham complements its existing facilities in Waterford, Ireland, and Belgium, giving it a global footprint with three locations covering both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.”
Stephen Delaney, Managing Director of Q1 Scientific, said: “We are delighted to celebrate three major milestones at three different global sites today.
"Operating these three key global site locations will be a significant benefit to our customers."
Mr Delaney said that they can now expect "faster turnaround times for the return of samples and greater temperature-controlled transport options across the US and Europe".
He continued: "We also look forward to continuing to add to our team here in Ireland and overseas as we continue to expand our capabilities and capacity across our North American and European network to meet the growing demand for outsourced stability storage services.”
