Construction starts for Sartorius' new Cell Culture Technology Centre

Ground-breaking ceremony for Sartorius Stedim Cellca.

The 30-million-euro investment will accommodate the growing needs of customers.

So far, Sartorius Stedim Cellca has been working in a rented building in Laupheim. The new laboratory and office complex will approximately double the company’s space and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019. In addition, relocation to this zone will provide closer proximity to universities and research institutes that are based in Ulm’s Science Park. In addition, this move to the new facility, which is conveniently accessible by various transportation routes between the large cities of Stuttgart and Munich, will make it even easier for international customers to visit the company. Sartorius Stedim Cellca purchased the property of more than 6,000 m2 at Science Park III back in November 2016 and can, therefore, expand its Cell Culture Technology Center by a further 5,000 m2 as needed.

Sartorius Stedim Cellca develops cell lines and protein production processes, licenses technologies for the production of proteins and offers cell culture media. The company has been a part of the biopharma equipment supplier Sartorius Stedim Biotech since 2015 and currently employs around 90 people. Over the medium term, the company plans to extend its workforce to more than 120 people.
