We believe that through the convergence of this supply chain and availability of resources we have at our disposal, we can rapidly expand to emerging markets and provide high-quality IVD products at reduced price points as a result of considered innovation." The new Holborn Wells SpeedBio manufacturing base in India can be seen as an important step towards the positive impact molecular diagnostics can have in the region over the next decade and beyond. The amalgamation of Holborn Wells technical expertise and SpeedBio India network will allow for placing the new joint venture company as a leader in the IVD market across the region.
