Steady Growth Spurs Plans for BASi Expansion of GLP Toxicology Facility in Indiana

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., November 13, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BASI) (“BASi” or the “Company”) today announced the company has retained architects and consultants to design and complete a multi-phased plan for the expansion of its GLP toxicology facility in Mt. Vernon, Indiana, near Evansville. Steady growth and the increasing market demand for preclinical and non-clinical studies have made this multi-million dollar investment an organizational priority for the company.

“BASi’s growth has been built on a solid foundation of quality, on-time delivery and a loyal client base,” said Philip Downing, senior vice president of Preclinical Services at BASi. “We expect this momentum to continue well into 2018 and beyond. We are currently improving our environmental systems and infrastructure, and this further investment in expansion and upgrading facilities will allow us to better serve our clients while stabilizing current jobs and creating new workforce opportunities in the Evansville and surrounding markets.”

Our outlook is very positive as we consider evolving industry demands and how BASi is poised to meet them. These facility upgrades and the talented people supporting them will allow us to maintain our longstanding commitment to clients and their drug development success.

With a timeline for completion within the next 18-24 months, the company expects an increase in capacity of up to 30% with the planned expansion and renovation on the 52-acre campus. Backlog remains particularly strong, and this expansion is part of the company’s strategy to increase research capacity to meet that demand.
