PBS Biotech, a developer of state of the art single-use bioreactors, has acquired Integrity CMI, a design and manufacturing company. PBS will integrate the company into ongoing operations.

Integrity CMI has extensive experience in design, assembly, testing, packaging and sterilization of medical devices and biotech products. The company has certified class 7 (10,000) clean room operations as well as non-clean room assembly and testing facilities. The added technical capabilities and factory space will significantly augment PBS Biotech’s manufacturing capability for disposable vessels, bags, and related plastic parts assemblies of single-use bioreactors under stringent clean room environmental controls, according to a PBS statement.

“Integrity CMI is a powerful addition to the company adding substantial ISO and FDA certified design, manufacturing and test capabilities,” said Dr. Brian Lee, co-founder and chief executive officer of PBS Biotech. “Oscar Garza and his team are experts at medical and biotech equipment production and have extensive engineering and manufacturing experience vital to the rapid growth of PBS.”

The two companies are located only a few miles apart in Camarillo, CA and will reconfigure their assets and personnel to maximize design and engineering operations and build out the manufacturing facilities, which hold ISO 13485 certification and are FDA registered. The Integrity CMI facility will focus on manufacturing the PBS disposable vessels and bags.
