Preface

Bio-Endeavors International has assumed the role of publisher of this directory, beginning with this 7th edition. Past editions were published by Candida Corporation and edited by Dr. Richard Mateles. It became apparent in developing this new edition, how much effort he spent at updating and ensuring the accuracy of each entry.

Contract manufacture or tolling of bioproducts, produced via fermentation, mammalian, insect or plant cell culture, fills an important industry need. There are circumstances where, because of timing or facility limitations, a company does not have facilities needed to expand production, introduce a new product, scale up a production step, or simply secure initial quantities of a product for testing. This unique directory provides a starting point for locating, screening and selecting tolling services to fill such needs.

For a new edition, it is surprising how much change occurs over the biennial publication period. Contract biomanufacturing service businesses are sold, close, reemerge under new ownership, expand or drop services, grow in capabilities, change names, locations, contact numbers, etc., all of which dictates the need for updating. As was done for the 6th and earlier editions, Bio-Endeavors will offer purchasers, via its website, a listing of changes insofar that they are obtainable.
