Life Sciences Company Opens Ann Arbor Bioanalytics Facility
Sartorius, a biopharma and life sciences firm, has opened its new Center of Excellence for bioanalytics in Ann Arbor, Michigan, two years after breaking ground in the Tech Loop at Research Park. Sartorius has invested around 100 million dollars in the state-of-the-art facility, consolidating existing sites and functions in Ann Arbor. The number of employees at the site is expected to double over time.
The 130,000-square-foot facility houses a modern manufacturing and services area, biology labs, a warehouse, office and training spaces. Sartorius will develop and manufacture a range of bioanalytical instruments at this site, including the associated reagents, consumables and software solutions.
The Center of Excellence was built with sustainable features, including a green electric energy supply from solar panels, 30 electric vehicle charging stations, and Research Park’s first storm runoff pond. “The opening of our new building in the Tech Loop marks an important milestone for Sartorius in the Americas region, offering space for further expansion in the future,” said Maurice Phelan, President of Sartorius North America.
