Visp/Switzerland — According to the company, several hundred new positions are expected to be created. Ibex biomanufacturing comprises a modular, technology-independent development and manufacturing complex capable of supporting activities across multiple technologies — mammalian, microbial, cellular or bio-conjugate. This flexibility gives customers complete freedom in facility design and implementation, and the ability to respond rapidly as their needs evolve, the company claims.

The biomanufacturing complex is integrated into the Visp site with its workforce and service networks. The service includes flexible models to match and adapt to each customer’s expectations and forecasts. The availability of a modular complex means time-to-market can be reduced by twelve months or more.
