Next Milestone reached for HALIX
Agreement on real property signed between Leiden University and HALIX
Leiden (the Netherlands), 07.06.2018 – HALIX has reached an important milestone in realising a brand-new 6.700 m² GMP facility with development and production clean rooms. By signing an agreement with the Leiden University, HALIX obtained real property at the Leiden Bio Science Park.
HALIX will soon start the construction activities. The new facility will be designed for state of the art GMP manufacturing projects, and is expected to be fully operational in 2019.
“As our business is growing, we require additional production and laboratory capacity to continue serving our customers. We are happy to expand here, in the centre of the Leiden Bio Science Park, as the development and opportunities of the Leiden Bio Science Park are an added value to our business, and offer a perfect environment for our activities.” says Harry Flore, CEO of HALIX.
HALIX is a contract development & manufacturing organization (CDMO) and licensed for clinical and commercial GMP contract manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. We provide services to biopharmaceutical partners, enabling them to harvest on their research activities, and to enter and supply their markets with the most efficient use of resources. Our focus is GMP manufacturing of biologics, by manufacturing drug substance through mammalian cell culturing, and by performing aseptic fill and finish and lyophilization services. Within the next years we are extending the scope of services for therapeutic proteins and viral vaccines.
The Leiden Bio Science Park is the largest science cluster in the Netherlands and brings together Leiden University, Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), and approximately 150 companies in close proximity. There is a lot of energy and expertise moving around between companies in the Bio Science Park. Being part of that is a great benefit for HALIX.
