Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) February 05, 2014 -- Nitto Denko Avecia Inc., an industry leader in the development and manufacture of innovative oligonucleotide therapeutics, is proud to announce its one year anniversary of the acquisition of Girindus America’s contract manufacturing business.

In just over 6 months of operation Nitto Avecia’s OliGrow unit has produced more than 100 sequences for over 20 clients, and in 2014 they expect to see even stronger demand as interest continues to grow.
Detlef Rethage, President of Nitto Avecia, says, “Our clients are pleased with the integration of the Cincinnati, OH and Milford, MA sites, as well as the additional services, capacity and resources Nitto Avecia now offers.
