July 1st marks an important milestone as we celebrate 20 years of BIOMEX under my responsibility. From its humble beginnings as a supplier of biological materials, BIOMEX has grown to become Europe's leading supplier of human biological samples and a pioneering manufacturer in diagnostics and life sciences, thanks to its dedicated team and valued partners. Since my acquisition of BIOMEX in 2004, we have achieved remarkable milestones: • In 2005, our first plasma donation center was opened in Munich. • In 2009, our second plasma donation center was opened in Heidelberg. • In 2011, DiaMex GmbH was founded as a supplier of manufacturer-independent controls. • ESfEQA GmbH was founded in 2013, providing accredited external quality assessments. • In 2018, we founded Neckar Biotechnology in Shanghai and received import approval for human biological specimens in China. • In 2020, we were the first provider worldwide to collect large quantities of plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients. • In 2022, we entered the life science industry, offering e.g. PBMCs and other human biological specimens and expanded our services and products. • We are the leading European CRO for the IVD industry, completed, among others, more than 150 validation services for SARS-CoV-2 assays for the European market. • In 2023, we launched Europe's largest tissue biobank, over 3,000,000 human tissue samples in FFPE block format. • We have welcomed provitro AG and Symbiosis GmbH into the MEX Group. The companies specialize in advanced analytical services for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, with Symbiosis GmbH offering these services under GMP-standards. • In 2024, we launched our latest innovation – human-derived ECM for cancer and stem cell research - and began collecting leukocytes at our Munich Plasma Center. These milestones are testament to our continuous progress and innovative strength. Looking to the future, we strive to remain at the forefront of providing human biological samples for diagnostics and life sciences in Europe. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making BIOMEX what it is today. The commitment of my team and the trust of our partners have contributed significantly to our success. We are here to solve problems and make things possible. "Empowering Scientists" is our mission. Here's to the next 20 years of growth and success! #BIOMEX #Anniversary #Leadership #LifeSciences #Diagnostics #EmpoweringScientists
