18.3.2016 12:05:00 CET | Business Wire | Press release
LFB American Plasma LLC, an LFB Group company, and ImmunoTek
BioCenters LLC, announce an agreement on the supply of plasma collected
in the USA. The newly set up United States subsidiary of the French
biopharmaceutical company is a further step among many others towards
expanding LFB’s global presence in the biotherapies field. LFB American
Plasma has contracted with US-based ImmunoTek BioCenters regarding a
long-term plasma supply agreement, which includes the development of
several new plasma collection sites in the USA.
In 2015, LFB
Group announced the decision to construct a new fractionation plant in
the north of France (Arras region) with an annual capacity of 3 million
liters, which will allow LFB flexibility with global growth objectives
in the coming decade. The agreement with ImmunoTek will allow LFB to
rapidly scale up plasma production, pending completion of the future
fractionation plant. ImmunoTek specializes in strategic plasma supply
and new plasma center development in the USA and currently has 30
centers in the planning stage for pharmaceutical customers. LFB Group
and ImmunoTek will work together and strategically align business
objectives to develop a considerable plasma supply chain initiative for
LFB in the United States.
“In 2015, the LFB group reached major
milestones in developing its activities worldwide with the registration
of two new major products in Europe, an IVIg and a fibrinogen, and the
start of the project to build a new-generation plasma-derived medicinal
products plant.” says Christian Béchon, CEO of LFB S.A. He adds, “To
meet our ambitions, as a global player, we need to diversify and
significantly increase our plasma supply especially in the US. ImmunoTek
is a very valuable partner to reach that strategic objective for our
Group.”
“The development of a safe and reliable plasma
supply chain continues to be an integral focus point for growing
biopharmaceutical companies,” says Jerome Parnell III, CEO and
President of ImmunoTek. Parnell concludes, “Synergy between LFB’s
growth objectives and ImmunoTek’s experience to scale plasma volume will
translate into a robust long-term relationship between both companies.”
