Oudshoorn added that the investment forms part of Applikon’s efforts to be able to provide an advanced data centre for biotech processes.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Applikon Biotechnology is headquartered in the Netherlands and in Belgium. In Australia and New Zealand, the company provides its products through its dedicated agent Enztech in New South Wales.
