Provider of products and research services, Envigo, has announced it is investing in an expansion of its surgical facility located in Livermore, California, USA, in response to rising demand from West Coast companies.
Expansion
The expansion will increase the facility’s footprint by 10-fold, nearly double the surgical technicians and will allow for the creation of a West Coast Centre of Excellence for surgical services. Additionally, the new larger facility will include ICU recovery chambers and advanced ventilator and microscopic technologies and environmentally friendly individual ventilated cages (IVCs) for all models of RFID and software surgical tracking systems.
“Our high quality myocardial infarction models are usually at 98% usefulness in any given order of surgical models — much higher than any other leading providers in the market. Consequently, we are able to meet a pressing need of customers and prospects based in the region. MI requires exceptional expertise and high precision surgery and we have needed to increase capacity at Livermore to keep pace with demand,” commented Brad Gien, head of North America Surgery at Envigo. “One of the key considerations was to bring our specialist myocardial infarction models to this location, as it is so close to a key development hub for this particular product class. We are now able to take a much greater volume of orders and it is logistically much easier to service our customers in the region.”
