Accreditation for Envigo Facilities in Spain

Contract research facilities provider Envigo has been granted full accreditation by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International Council for its facilities in Spain. Recent enhancements of the company’s Barcelona facilities in Santiga and Castellar included a new surgery room, refurbishment of several key areas used for contract research and animal boarding, as well as installation of new facility monitoring systems. The investments and AAALAC accreditation provide customers additional capacity and more flexibility in timelines when placing research studies at various Envigo facilities in Europe and the United States.

John Handley, President of EMEA Operations commented: “This is fantastic news for our research teams in Barcelona and recognition of Envigo’s dedication to the highest standards of care and quality. Securing AAALAC accreditation for another of our European facilities highlights the professionalism and expertise of our employees who work in partnership with our customers to develop products that make the world a healthier and safer place.”
