Ingenza has signed a 10-year lease on 25,000 sq ft at the Moubray Building at Pioneer Group’s Edinburgh Technopole.
The purpose-built premises will more than double the company’s current footprint and expand its fermentation and research facilities.
John Mackenzie, director (Scotland) at Pioneer, said: “We are delighted that Ingenza will be locating with us at Edinburgh Technopole. As a UK and world leader in industrial biotechnology, Ingenza is a very welcome addition to Pioneer’s ecosystem. Importantly, the business is remaining in the Midlothian Science Zone, whilst expanding its lab and office operations and creating up to 50 new jobs. Ingenza’s growth is hugely positive for our local life sciences cluster, being an exemplar Pioneer model of local economic development, partnership and impact that will accelerate scientific discovery.”
Jaymin Amin, chief business officer at Ingenza, added: “The expansion is a landmark investment for Ingenza, enabling us to increase our fermentation scale to 100L, as well as expanding our research and development labs to support larger programmes. Our inGenius platform technology is redefining drug substance development and sustainable biotech manufacturing, and this exciting move will provide an independent, world-class facility to better serve customers worldwide, accelerating our business growth.”
