Integrated DNA Technologies Expands European Oligo Production Facility

Jul 30, 2008
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Integrated DNA Technologies said today that it has completed the expansion of its European oligonucleotide production facility in Haasrode Research Park in Leuven, Belgium.
 
The oligonucleotide developer, headquartered in Coralville, Iowa, said the 21,500-square-foot facility will allow it to provide better services for its customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
 
Bonnie Barney, IDT’s senior vice president of European sales and marketing, said that the company now employs 20 staffers in Europe and that the new facility gives it the ability to produce around 4,000 oligos daily. 
 
The company also said it has expanded its direct sales force in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and in the Benelux nations, but did not provide further details.
