The facility, located in Branford Connecticut, is strategically positioned to support the strong presence of Evotec's drug discovery collaborators along the East Coast of the United States. The new facility will be modern, cost effective and scalable for continued growth.

The significant investment will enable Evotec to better compete for East Coast compound management opportunities and continue to provide the very best services and solutions to our partners.'
