Marken is opening a new operational hub in Chicago, IL, expanding capabilities in the U.S. Northeast region, joining the existing New York, Boston and Philadelphia locations. This is Marken’s sixth facility in the U.S.

The Chicago team will provide more operational flexibility within the Marken network for pharmaceutical clients. The new location will work with clients and investigator sites to collect and ship drug products, clinical trial materials and biological samples.

Julia Tarasenko, Regional Director, US North East & Canada Operations, said, “We are very pleased to be able to expand our footprint and open a new Marken facility in Chicago. By adding Chicago to our New York, Boston and Philadelphia operational centers, we are building a stronger and more nimble network in the United States. We will now be closer to our clients in the Chicago area and offer them the same high-touch, personalised services they have come to expect from us.”
