Ellab has announced the acquisition of qualification and validation services specialist QualUs.

QualUs has since 2005 offered high quality commissioning and validation contract service to the biopharmaceutical, medical device, hospital/dental and related life science and healthcare industries. The company is specialised in thermal validation of all types of equipment, such as autoclaves, steam in place of bioreactors and process equipment/lines, depyrogenation tunnels, ovens, fridges, freezers, warehouses, incubators and stability chambers.

The company has an impressive track record of serving blue-chip life science companies in Ireland.

The acquisition of QualUs fits with Ellab’s corporate strategy of expanding its qualification and validation services in key markets. In line with this strategy, QualUs will be merged with Ellab’s newly acquired company in Ireland, Instrument Technology Limited (ITL), and is expected to serve customers in both the UK and Ireland together with Ellab’s subsidiary located in Manchester. With this expansion, Ellab can serve its customers in this region even better through a much stronger local platform and direct market presence.

The managing director of QualUs, Gerard Collins, will continue as Director of Validation Services.
