In response to increasing demand and to better serve its customer the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today announced the opening of its 52,000 square foot Frederick, Maryland facility. In the new facility, Charles River is working side by side with NCI in a seamless partnership to produce the highest quality research models available.

Charles River, Avian Products and Services, just completed a substantial expansion of its laboratory and vaccine support space. The new manufacturing space is located in Willimantic, Connecticut, approximately 10 miles from our headquarters in Franklin. Production in the 8,500 sq. ft. facility will begin in multiple phases, with the first phase, valued at $1.9 million, complete by mid June, 2008. Once the first phase is functional, we will operate two modular ‘clean room’ labs occupying about 2,000 sq. ft. of the existing space. Both rooms will utilize a Class 10,000 filtered air quality system with Class 100 benches. Click on the link below to continue reading.
