Biotest AG opens 12^th plasma collection centre in Germany

 

• 38 plasma collection centres in Europe to ensure long-term plasma supply

Dreieich, 19 April 2024: Biotest has officially opened its 12^th plasma collection centre in Germany in Wuppertal.

In future, plasma donors will be able to donate plasma five days a week, from Monday to Friday, at the ultra-modern centre on Karlsplatz at 33 Friedrichstrasse. Friendly and dedicated staff provide an excellent service for sustainable and paperless plasma donation. The new centre is operated by Plasma Service Europe GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Biotest AG, which was founded more than 20 years ago to strengthen plasma donation in Germany.

"We are creating 27 new, highly skilled jobs at our centre. We are particularly pleased that we can now also offer donors in Wuppertal the opportunity to donate plasma close to home," says centre manager Anja Hirner.

"We would like to thank our dedicated team, the construction companies involved and the architects for realising the project in these challenging times. Of course, we also hope that many new donors will join us to ensure the supply of life-saving medicines to patients worldwide," emphasises Henrik Oehme, Managing Director of Plasma Service Europe GmbH.

The Managing Directors of Plasma Service Europe GmbH, Marina Hohenböken and Henrik Oehme, opened the new plasma donation centre together with the First and Second Mayor of Wuppertal, Heiner Fragemann and Rainer Spiecker, the CDU member of the Bundestag Jürgen Hardt as well as the SPD member of the state parliament, Dilek Engin, and other representatives from politics and business and exciting interview partners such as the Vice-Miss Germany Gina Rühl from Wuppertal.
