New facility serves biopharma manufacturers throughout the region with local access to customer purification studies across Ecolab's Purolite Resin portfolio
Ecolab Life Sciences has officially opened its new US Bioprocessing Applications Laboratory in Pennsylvania.
Purolite, a US manufacturer of ion exchange resins that is also part of Ecolab, has opened up a new facility in Llantrisant, Wales, tripling its bioprocessing resin production. The company said the extra output will meet growing global demand for biopharmaceutical products.
Ecolab, a US provider of hygiene and infection prevention products and services, has agreed to buy Purolite, a compatriot manufacturer of ion-exchange resins, for roughly $3.7 billion. Once the deal is completed, expected in the final quarter of this year, Purolite will operate as a separate global business unit, reporting into Ecolab’s Life Sciences division.
