Kendle received approval from Indian authorities to proceed with development of a new operations center in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar Knowledge Corridor. The new SEZ center is part of the company’s strategic plan to further invest in Asia/Pacific to meet customer needs. The new unit is expected to be operational in April.

“Continued expansion throughout the Asia/Pacific region is crucial to the future growth of Kendle,” said Stephen Cutler, Ph.D., senior vice president and chief operating officer. “Our increased capacity in the region will allow us to better meet the growing demands of our customers who are seeking to capitalize on India’s rapidly expanding high-quality biopharmaceutical capabilities. The new SEZ operations center will be ideally suited to deliver best-in-class services to our customers seeking high-quality, innovative and cost-effective solutions for their clinical development needs.”

The SEZ operations center will focus on quality delivery of clinical data management, medical writing, pharmacovigilance/safety, biostatistics/programming and other knowledge processing-related services. Initially the center will house approximately 50 associates and is expected to scale up to approximately 300 associates in the near term.
