Clinical Supplies Management Expands to Europe
(PRWEB) December 06, 2016 -- Clinical Supplies Management ("CSM"), a Great Point Partners ("GPP") portfolio company, today announced it has acquired the assets of Theorem Clinical Research - Clinical Supplies ("TCS"). TCS was previously a subsidiary of Chiltern International and focuses on clinical trial drug packaging, labeling, storage, reconciliation, and distribution for pharmaceutical trials across Europe. With the acquisition of TCS, CSM has broadened its geographic coverage with facilities in the United States and Europe to better serve the needs of its global clients.
"We are very excited to welcome the experienced team from TCS into the CSM family. The combination of two specialized clinical supply management companies with 20 year histories of outstanding service and quality creates an exciting solution for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry," said Scott Houlton, CSM Chief Executive Officer. "The expansion into Europe has been a key customer request for CSM and TCS is an excellent addition. TCS operates out of a new facility strategically located in Frankfurt, Germany and currently services a multinational customer base. I look forward to working with Rüdiger and his team to continue to grow the business."
Rüdiger Weber, Executive Director at TCS commented, "We are very pleased to be joining CSM, which is exclusively dedicated to clinical supplies. The two companies have built strong reputations for service and delivery and I believe we can offer a preferred solution to customers who are looking for an innovative and flexible partner with global scale."
The addition of TCS to CSM adds full service clinical packaging and logistics in Europe and broadens the customer base. TCS will operate as a subsidiary of Clinical Supplies Management Holdings, Inc. under the name CSM Clinical Supplies Management Europe, GmbH.
