dedicated employees deployed tremendous efforts to respond to the growing demand
while working diligently to plan and implement our new state of the art
bioprocessing facility" said Gilles Gagnon, President and CEO. "Also, this major
achievement would have not been possible without the unconditional support and
vote of confidence from our major long term partners, Symrise AG, Alberta
Financial Services Corporation and AI Bio Solutions" he added.
