“We see significant growth potential in the APAC region.

Singapore along with our strategic depots in China and Korea will provide Ancillare with the gateway to the entire APAC region by incorporating standard processes and procedures under one quality driven operation. The Singapore Operation will augment Ancillare’s strategic and master depot network so that our sponsors’ clinical operations leaders will have one point of expert contact and one clinical supply chain to manage all global trials needs from pre-protocol launch and first patient/first visit through last patient/last visit, site closeout and reclamation.
