A Macclesfield business has expanded their presence in Alderley Park, following a growing demand in their services.

Contract Research Organisation (CRO) Gentronix – a leading specialist toxicology CRO – has announced the next phase in its ongoing growth plan with the opening of a brand-new laboratory and office suite at Alderley Park. 

The new Macclesfield base will allow the company to increase capacity for its genetic toxicology studies. They also do ocular and skin toxicology testing.

Toxicology studies wasn't an type of discipline Macclesfield Nub News was really familiar with this month, but it is certainly welcome in our area as it will create more job opportunities for scientists across the north west, attracting more people to support our area and the local economy.

They've just moved into their brand-new 2,819 sq. ft laboratory and office suite at Alderley Park.

The expansion has increased Gentronix's footprint at Alderley Park by 30%, strengthening its ability to support clients in meeting their regulatory requirements, identifying potential hazards within project pipelines, and managing risk for their materials.

The move comes ahead of their 25th year in business in 2024. They currently hire over 57 employees.

CEO at Gentronix, Matt Tate, said: "We are delighted to be expanding our footprint within the Alderley Park Campus once again."

As a leading predictive toxicology CRO, operating from its GLP laboratory base at Alderley Park, Gentronix's work helps develop safe products used by millions of people around the world including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances, foods, flavours, personal care products, and cosmetics.
