Marken, based in Research Triangle Park, N.C., has opened four expanded branch facilities to meet continued growth.

In Los Angeles, Marken significantly expanded its office and warehouse space adjacent to its existing LAX facility to meet demand for complex clinical drug distribution and biological sample shipments from its U.S. West Coast clients. In Beijing, Marken will move into a new facility to allow the planned build out of its new pharmaceutical services depot with sufficient space for branch logistics operations. In Edinburgh, Scotland, Marken has moved into expanded office and warehouse space adjacent to the airport. In Germany, Marken has relocated its branch operations to a new facility near the Frankfurt airport, which also will become the home of Marken’s European central depot.

 “Due to the growing demand for complex IMP and biomarker shipments, we have decided to enhance our facilities and expand our operations in these strategic locations. We have taken this unique opportunity to combine our planned depot strategy with our need for expanded logistics operations and will combine them wherever possible,” said Wes Wheeler, CEO of Marken.
