Apr 12 2021 Read 3 Times Integra Biosciences, international manufacturer of laboratory equipment with technical and manufacturing centres in Switzerland and the US, officially celebrated the expansion of its state-of-the-art facility in Hudson, NH, with a community ribbon cutting ceremony. The newly extended facilities will expand the company’s US presence to meet the growing demand for its laboratory liquid handling products, which have proved vital to labs around the world battling the COVID-19 pandemic. The company’s production centre on Wentworth Drive in Hudson has gained an additional 16,000 ft2, increasing both manufacturing and storage capacities. With this development, Integra is set to triple its production each year. The company, which has been in Hudson for over 10 years, aims to give back to the community, and will be recruiting a further 100 new employees which quadruples its workforce in the area in 18 months. Each facility will also meet 50% of its energy demands with the installation of solar panels, designed to provide enough electricity to power 90 houses, as part of the company’s global sustainability efforts.
