Avantor Opens Single-Use Logistics Hub

Avantor, Inc., a global provider of mission-critical products and services in the life sciences, advanced technologies and applied materials industries, has opened a new single-use logistics hub in Westminster, MA, to strengthen the company's global biopharma supply chain.
Located near its Devens, MA, manufacturing site, the new facility serves as a center for raw material storage, quality control and distribution, streamlining Avantor's supply chain to support the growth of single-use solutions.
"Our customers require enabling solutions that support their efforts to bring new therapies to market, and Avantor's single-use business offers design and manufacturing support for their bioproduction processes. With the addition of our state-of-the-art Westminster facility, we now provide our customers with not only an end-to-end offering but the operations to comprehensively support it," said Dr. Ger Brophy, Executive Vice President, Biopharma Production at Avantor. "The site provides distribution and logistics management and allows us to better leverage our existing sites in North America, increasing the efficiencies we bring to our customers and the reliability for which our business is known."

In 2021, Avantor made significant investments in its single-use capabilities, including strategic acquisitions of RIM BIO , a China-based manufacturer of single-use Bioprocess bags and assemblies for Biopharmaceutical manufacturing applications, and Masterflex, a global manufacturer of peristaltic pumps and aseptic single-use fluid transfer technologies.
Avantor's Westminster site is the company's sixth location in the U.S. supporting single-use solutions, joining sites in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and North Carolina.
