Lucigen Corporation Expands into New Facility

April 16, 2012 - Lucigen Corporation is pleased to announce that it has recently completed its move into a new, state-of-the-art, office/laboratory facility in Middleton, Wisconsin.

Over the course of the past two years, Lucigen has experienced rapid growth in revenues and staff. In order to accommodate our evolution, Lucigen embarked on the process of expansion in mid-2011, culminating in the relocation of the company to a nearby facility remodeled specifically to meet the current and future needs of Lucigen. The new space features greater than double the square footage (now 28,000 ft2) of the previous location and was designed to enhance workflow for R&D, manufacturing, and shipping, while meeting increased regulatory requirements.

"Our new lab, production, and office space will enable Lucigen to continue to augment our product offerings and custom manufacturing capabilities, while enhancing our quality control efforts. We intend to achieve ISO 13485 status by late 2012, thereby increasing our opportunity for partnerships with other life science organizations. The new building is critical to obtaining this goal, and we are excited to settle in to our new location” stated David Mead, Ph.D., founder and CEO.
