    Stem cell storage available in growing number of countries (30/05/2007)

    Brussels, May 30 2007. – Cryo-Save, Europe’s leading family stem cell bank, has announced today it has expanded its activities in several new countries in Europe and the Middle East, enforcing the company’s market leadership strategy. This increased expansion brings the geographical presence of Cryo-Save services to a total of 36 countries, where parents can benefit from preservation of umbilical cord stem cells.

    Cryo-Save services are now available to parents in 19 Member States in the European Union: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Furthermore the services are also available to parents in Albania, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia-Montenegro, providing coverage across the Balkans. Cryo-Save is also active in Switzerland and Norway.

    To services its expanding operations in the Middle East Cryo-Save also established state of the art laboratory facilities in Dubai which became fully operational in September 2006. Parents living in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait are now able to take advantage of Cryo-Save’s cryopreservation and storage services. Further afield, Cryo-Save has also recently concluded service agreements in Pakistan, Lebanon and Iran, which will allow the Group to offer its services in these geographies. A similar agreement has been signed in Turkey, which will lead to the Group setting up another hi-tech laboratory in Istanbul. Cryo-Save is also active in South Africa through collaboration with a local partner.

    Marc Waeterschoot, CEO Cryo-Save Group: “Since the very beginning, it was clear that the kind of services offered by Cryo-Save should not be limited to one particular country. Whilst each market has its own characteristics, we have been able to achieve unmatched economies of scale by virtue of the quality of our services, standardised working methods and scientifically validated processes. We have been able to convince many decision makers in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere about the importance of our services. Our broad geographic reach is the result of working closely with the partners in the different countries in which we operate. This has turned Cryo-Save into a truly multinational provider of cord banking services.”

    As a result of the significant international growth in the cord banking business, and growing recognition of the Cryo-Save brand, the name of the Group’s holding company Life-Sciences Group, has been changed into Cryo-Save Group AG.
