Purification Technology
18/01/12
Tokyo, Japan, January 18, 2012- JSR
Corporation (Head Office: Minato-Ku, Tokyo,
President: Mitsunobu Koshiba) and BIA
Separations (Head Office: Villach, Managing
Director and CEO: Aleš Štrancar) announced
that they have entered a strategic
partnership which includes a minor equity
position by JSR on November 14th 2011.
As a result of this investment, JSR and BIA
Separations have started a joint global
marketing and sales effort and collaborative
R&D activities in the area of downstream
purification as part of the manufacturing of
vaccine, DNA and antibody based
medicines.
From JSR's perspective, teaming up with
BIA Separations will give JSR access to a
unique and leading edge technology in the
field of downstream purification of large
bio-molecules. Combining this technology with
JSR's proprietary Protein A media, we
offer the bio pharmaceutical industry a
faster, more reliable downstream purification
process at a lower cost of ownership. This
will contribute to make advanced treatments
accessible to a larger part of the human
society.
BIA Separations recognizes that JSR
Corporation is a leading polymer chemistry
manufacturer with a very strong commitment to
the life sciences industry. JSR's global
presence in the local markets and JSR's
expertise in the field of consistent high
quality volume manufacturing will help BIA
Separations to successfully grow its business
while maintaining its technological
leadership. This partnership is a very
important message to the industry as it
secures the long term presence of BIA
Separations and its technology and products
on the market.
