This new facility will serve the molecular biology needs of academic researchers, diagnostic labs, and biotech companies across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), producing up to 600,000 reactions per week.

Previously focused on a wide range of stem cell products and reagents under the Cellartis brand, Takara Bio’s Gothenburg site now offers a comprehensive array of customised molecular biology products, including PCR and qPCR enzymes. With these expanded capabilities, customers can expect faster deliveries, personalized service, and real-time access to technical expertise, ensuring projects move forward efficiently while supporting sustainability goals through reduced carbon emissions.

“This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver custom solutions with increased flexibility and faster turnaround times,” says Kristina Runeberg, Site Head, Takara Bio Europe – Swedish Filial. “By producing closer to our customers, we can better meet their needs while reducing our carbon footprint.”
