Cambrex Announces Stability Storage Expansions in Ireland and Belgium

Cambrex announced on Oct. 4, 2022 the expansion of Q1 Scientific, its stability storage business, which offers environmentally controlled stability storage services to the pharmaceutical, medical device, and life sciences industries. Its existing facility in Waterford, Ireland will have an additional 10,000 ft2 expansion, and a new 20,000 ft2 current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) facility will be opened in Belgium.

The new temperature-controlled and monitored storage facility in Belgium will be located in the Liege region. The facility will provide 35,000 temperature-controlled storage spaces. The Waterford-based Ireland facility has doubled in size over the past two years and continues to grow with this new 10,000 ft2 expansion.

“With Cambrex’s scientific expertise and scale, we are able to accelerate our growth plans and launch a second site in 2023,” said Stephen Delaney, managing director of Q1 Scientific, in a company press release. “Operating two sites will be a great benefit to our European customers, who can now expect even faster turnaround times for the return of samples. Meanwhile, we will also be able to provide greater temperature-controlled transport options in mainland Europe.”
