PSS enhances name to better reflect insourcing services; named separate legal entity

Lisa Bamford, Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories Communications Manager, LisaBamford@eurofinsUS.com

Over the past 13 years, Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories Professional Scientific Staffing (PSS) has grown dramatically to employ more than 1,000 global staff, serving clients at more than 40 locations in over 10 countries. To clearly delineate and reflect the broad scope of services to clients, the legal name has been changed to Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories Professional Scientific Services, LLC, replacing Staffing with Services to accurately reflect insourcing services.

As PSS has grown its insourcing solutions to meet client's evolving needs, this name enhancement reflects an expansion from offering staffing services in 2002, to delivering comprehensive laboratory management insourcing solutions today. And the new PSS logo-- Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing PSS Insourcing Solutions--reflects this growth and evolution of services and capabilities in the US and  Europe.

From a business standpoint, it remains business as usual. Capitalising on more than 50 years of Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories quality testing success, PSS will continue to bring this expertise to clients' sites and provide outstanding insourcing solutions, delivering cost effective and strategic partnerships to clients. In addition to the award-winning PSS service model, Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories also offers the traditional Fee for Service and Full Time Equivalent service options, helping clients balance market demands and fixed drug development cost challenges and effectively allocate their research and manufacturing expenditures through variable cost solutions.

Timothy S. Oostdyk, Ph.D., President, Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories, and Sr. Vice President, Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing Group has named Beth DiPaolo,M.A., President of the new PSS legal entity, Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories Professional Scientific Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories, Inc. "Beth has led the PSS business since its inception, and she and her team have done an outstanding job of serving Eurofins' customers and strategically developing insourcing solutions," says Dr. Oostdyk. "Our objective going forward is to ensure that clients receive the strategic partnership and full value of all of the service models and services available globally from Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories and Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing group."
