Considering Kansas City’s concentration of animal health companies, technology and resources was very appealing to us,” said Paul Hays, Synbiotics’ President and CEO at Synbiotics Corp. “We knew this is where we needed to be.” “The abundance and quality of educated and trained scientists and skilled workforce available to us by locating to the Kansas City area was very important to our decision,” said Hays. “The numerous area universities with veterinary colleges performing world-class research into the immunology and molecular biology of animal diseases provides opportunities for Synbiotics to hire trained professionals and license or acquire cutting edge technology” The company is negotiating final lease terms for space in a local commercial facility. It is estimated that the relocation will be completed by March 2007. The company intends to bring approximately 35 management and research jobs here immediately and will likely add another 10 over the next few years. Synbiotics has 112 employees world-wide today.
