Paragon Bioservices was named to Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™ for 2018, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America. Additionally, Paragon was named #8 to the Baltimore Business Journal’s Fast 50 for the second year in a row.

“The reason for Paragon’s rapid growth over the last year is easy to identify: it’s our people,” said Paragon president and chief executive officer Pete Buzy. “We would not be able to sustain or manage our growth without the team we’ve built, and our future is wide open because of it. These significant third-party acknowledgements validate our approach.”

Paragon, one of Baltimore’s largest biotechnology companies, employs a team of 300+ at two locations in Maryland. Paragon is constructing a new, world-class, 151,000 square-foot, GMP gene therapy biomanufacturing facility in Anne Arundel County, which will be online in February 2019. Paragon also has facilities at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) BioPark where the Company currently provides full process, analytical development, and cGMP clinical manufacturing services from its approximately 100,000 square-foot facility. 

“Congratulations to the Deloitte 2018 Technology Fast 500 winners on this impressive achievement,” said Sandra Shirai, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP, and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. “These companies are innovators who have converted their disruptive ideas into products, services and experiences that can captivate new customers and drive remarkable growth.”
