Lifecycle Biotechnologies Completes Full Integration of Chata Biosystems and VI Plastics
Lifecycle Biotechnologies, a leading supplier to the life science industry and parent company to Chata Biosystems and VI Plastics, today announced the official integration of Chata and VI Plastics to a single, unified company under Lifecycle Biotechnologies. This integration will create a seamless experience for all of Lifecycle's partners, system wide, and will ensure access to the quality, service, and expertise you expect from Lifecycle.
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - With the integration, the company will continue to provide custom and semi-custom aqueous reagents, chemicals, and medias, as well as medical grade plastic products to the world's leading pharmaceutical, medical device, biologics, diagnostics, cellular agriculture, and cell- and tissue-based product manufacturers.
"We are excited to bring even more advantages and convenience to our partners and supply chain," said Cody Yarborough, CEO for Lifecycle Biotechnologies. "By operating under one company, we will simplify partner ordering and logistics without compromising the superior quality of our products and manufacturing processes."
Lifecycle's integration efforts will provide partners with more and enhanced product offerings under a unified marketing message. It will also align the way Lifecycle operates internally around its four major market divisions; Biopharmaceuticals, Cellular Agriculture, Industrial, and Regenerative Medicine. As these divisions continue to evolve, Lifecycle will be positioned at the forefront with its innovative products and industry relevant subject matter experts. The integration will also provide a higher and more intimate level of service across the organization to its partner base.
This is a natural evolution for the company since all brands will now be fully integrated. Following is a listing of the major changes that are part of this integration:
New legal name for Chata Biosystems and VI Plastics
Both Chata Biosystems and VI Plastics have officially changed their names to Lifecycle Biotechnologies, LP. This is a change in name and not a change in ownership. The products, the staff, and the facilities will remain the same.
Supplier qualification/requalification process
The name change may require that Lifecycle is set up as a new vendors. Lifecycle will do all it possibly can to support this activity. Lifecycle's Quality Department personnel are available to provide information or to help in completing the supplier qualification paperwork.
ISO certificates
Lifecycle's current ISO9001 and ISO13485 certificates already reflect Lifecycle Biotechnologies. Copies of these certificates can be download from their website at ISO9001 and ISO13485.
Packaging and documents
Chata Biosystems and VI Plastics will be utilizing the Lifecycle Biotechnologies name on all Packaging, COAs, SDSs, Quotes, Invoices, Packing Lists and all other documents. All documentation will show the Lifecycle Biotechnologies name and logo. It is possible during this transition that partners may see a Chata or VI Plastics logo on something, but by the end of Q1 2020 this should no longer occur.
Remit to address
As part of this integration Lifecycle is streamlining all accounting correspondence through their Fort Worth, Texas facility. Lifecycle will also be updating their banking information to align with the integration. This pertains to their partners remitting payment against invoices, or their vendors issuing invoices. The address to use for all accounting correspondence is:
Lifecycle Biotechnologies

As they prepare for the next decade with a vision for the future, Lifecycle Biotechnologies looks forward to continued excellence and expansion.
