World-class facility will offer the Company nearly three times the
space for disruptive biomarker technology innovation and to accommodate
growing pharma services business
BILLERICA, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Quanterix
Corporation (NASDAQ:QTRX), a company digitizing biomarker analysis
with the goal of advancing the science of precision health, today
announced the relocation of its headquarters to a brand new,
state-of-the-art facility in Billerica, Mass. Brought on by Quanterix’
rapid growth, the move will allow the Company to unite its
CLIA-certified laboratory with its expanding workforce to accelerate
entry into pharmaceutical drug services and further increase its impact
on the transformation of precision healthcare.
“We experienced considerable success in our former facilities, launching
several new biomarker technologies that are beginning to disrupt drug
development and drug approval methodologies, acquiring Aushon to
accelerate our entry into Biopharma services and leading a successful
public offering in December 2017,” said Kevin Hrusovsky, Chairman and
CEO, Quanterix. “These advancements, coupled with the rapid adoption of
ultrasensitive protein biomarkers as critical tools for drug
development, next generation diagnostics discovery and early disease
detection health screens, have fueled our growth and heightened our
enthusiasm for the future. As we expand, we’re happy to keep our
headquarters in the greater Boston area, a center for medical innovation
and a compelling location for Quanterix to lead its global quest to
revolutionize healthcare utilizing digital biomarker innovations.”
The two story, 92,000 square-foot space features new offices and
expanded manufacturing and laboratory space. By bringing all business
operations together under the same roof as its CLIA-certified lab and
Accelerator Lab providing services to BioPharma, Quanterix is able to
offer customers a single home for all of its biomarker research needs
across a wide range of therapeutic categories. Additionally, the space
allows Quanterix to continue growing and innovating its technology bench
and industry-leading ultrasensitive assay menu, as the pharmaceutical
industry and medical community continue to put an emphasis on the
importance of biomarker testing.
“Massachusetts remains a global hub for innovation and research, and our
administration has prioritized efforts to create an environment that
supports this important sector of our economy,” said Massachusetts
Governor Charlie Baker. “Quanterix’ expansion is a great addition to the
Commonwealth’s digital health ecosystem and we look forward to the
opening of this new facility.”
Located at 900 Middlesex Turnpike in Billerica, Mass., the new
headquarters will help the company continue to attract top talent to
fuel its rapid growth and offers employees a world-class workplace
designed to support collaboration, innovation, and inspiration. The move
brings together employees from both its former Lexington and Billerica
sites into a single facility, and the additional space will enable
Quanterix to continue to grow its headcount, which increased by more
than 40 percent in 2018 alone.
“The new space gives us the room and amenities to inspire our incredible
team as they work to advance innovation and disrupt medicine. We’re
excited to remain in Boston and have this “state of the art” workplace
that we can call home, one that emulates our unique company culture and
compelling mission of personalized precision health,” continued
Hrusovsky.
