Friday 30th October 2009 will see R-Biopharm Rhône’s exclusive evening event to celebrate the official launch of their new purpose built premises in the West of Scotland Science Park in Glasgow. The theme of the occasion will stay close to the company’s Scottish routes with a local feel to the dinner menu followed by a traditional ceilidh. The event will attract a large number of customers, distributors and business partners from around the globe and is expected to go down as one of the high points in the company’s already impressive history.
The R-Biopharm group was founded in 1988 with R-Biopharm AG and has grown dramatically over the 21-years to include subsidiaries in France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, China, Australia, USA and the UK. The company also has a strong network of distributors selling its products in over 90 countries worldwide. 2009 has been an exceptional year for the group, bucking the current world economic trend, with both R-Biopharm Rhône (Glasgow, UK) and the parent company R-Biopharm AG (Darmstadt, Germany) re-locating to custom built facilities and continuing to recruit skilled staff in both locations to meet our customers’ ever growing demands.
Previously, R-Biopharm Rhône had two premises on the Kelvin Campus, West of Scotland Science Park, however space was restricted and expansion was required to increase the laboratory, production and warehouse facilities. The company recently invested in a new facility to house all departments under one roof and to increase the total area of the company by approximately 65%, providing continued scope for the ever increasing company. The move to the new premises took place in early June and is located directly across the road from our previous premises in the Todd Campus.
R-Biopharm AG invested over 22 million Euros to build its bespoke company headquarters and, in the first week of April, R-Biopharm AG moved to just outside Darmstadt where the previous building was located. The total business area has been increased by over 230%. This allows the current 180 staff to be housed together with a potential capacity for 350 members of staff.
Both in Germany and the UK, all departments including Production, Sales & Marketing, Quality Control, Research & Development, Accounts, Warehousing and Dispatch are now united under one roof. The new facilities will help to improve the workflow of both companies therefore enhancing the overall service offered to our customers. Impressive conference facilities and state-of-the-art laboratories are also available in both companies allowing for better quality training, meetings and practical support for customers and distributors alike.
