Expansion of Vetter Development Service (VDS)

The North American market is critical to Vetter’s strategic global growth as nearly half of its client base is already located here. In order to maximize on this opportunity, Vetter has decided to create a facility, its first outside of Germany, at the Illinois Science + Technology Park in suburban Chicago. The facility, which focuses on preclinical to phase II clinical batch projects, is an expansion of Vetter Development Service. With significant progress already having been made, the facility is scheduled to be operational by beginning of the fourth quarter 2010.
