"In the first six months of the year, we have seen unabated high demand for innovative technologies used in the development and production of biopharmaceuticals. Orders from customers who manufacture coronavirus vaccines and coronavirus test kits have played an additional important, though not dominant, role in this respect. The acquisitions closed in 2020 also are performing well and have added positive momentum. Our most recent acquisition of a majority stake in CellGenix, a leading global supplier of GMP–grade cell culture components, enables us to provide our customers with even more comprehensive support in moving their drug candidates quickly and efficiently through the various steps of drug development so that innovative therapies reach patients faster," said Executive Board Chairman and CEO Joachim Kreuzburg.
