Greiner Bio-One - Invests EUR 500 million in USA

21-Jul-2004

Sophisticated technology is worth the money. With the invention and development of a product for the field of diagnostics, the Austrian company located in Kremsmünster has manufactured an impressive 5 billion VACUETTE® tubes for diagnostic examinations throughout the world since 1992.

As of now, Greiner Bio-One is investing in the expansion of production facilities in the USA (Monroe, North Carolina). Construction of the additional hall will cost around EUR 5 million. This will make space for an additional VACUETTE® plant, which will increase the factory's capacity by 60 million VACUETTE® tubes.

In the course of the expansion 30 new jobs will be created. 840 million tubes will be produced this year in Kremsmünster and Monroe. This makes Greiner Bio-One one of the biggest manufacturers of plastic blood collection tubes in the world. During the last financial year the VACUETTE® market share was further increased. In Austria the current market share is approx. 80%.
