An Expanded PolyPeptide Group to Exhibit at TIDES® 2008
TORRANCE, CA, USA, March 27, 2008 - The PolyPeptide Group, a leading manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients based on peptides, will be exhibiting at TIDES® 2008, at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa, in Las Vegas, NV, from May 18-21, 2008 at booth 312.
TIDES® 2008 will be the first peptide-focused meeting where customers and contacts will have an opportunity to interact with the PolyPeptide Group in its new constellation. On November 19, 2007, PolyPeptide Group acquired peptide manufacturer NeoMPS (formerly of the SNPE Group). The PolyPeptide Group now encompasses 5 GMP manufacturing facilities in Torrance, CA; San Diego, CA; Strasbourg, France; Malmo, Sweden; and Hillerod, Denmark. PolyPeptide Group is also constructing a generics-focused facility near Mumbai, India that should be operating in Q4 2008.
The PolyPeptide Group can now support GMP manufacturing at any scale. In addition to its comprehensive GMP service offerings, the Group now has a greatly expanded and more flexible offering, including an extensive catalog of peptides, as well as additional capacity for small- and medium-scale GMP manufacturing, non-GMP custom synthesis, and synthesis of cosmetic peptides. It also offers radio-labeled peptides.
Since its inception, TIDES has been "the meeting" for pharmaceutical and biotech companies developing peptide drugs to meet and discuss their projects. "We anticipate interacting with many of our customers and contacts at this year's TIDES meeting, as well as meeting new companies that are developing peptide therapeutics. We are looking forward to highlighting the synergies formed by the acquisition of NeoMPS," said Jane Salik Ph.D., Group CEO and President, PolyPeptide Group. "We are pleased to act as sponsors, organizers and exhibitors at TIDES."
