“Crown Bioscience has grown significantly in recent years, consistently exceeding its annual growth target, and in FY21 we were delighted to record bookings growth of over 40%,” said Armin Spura, CEO. “With these changes announced today and under Michael's continued leadership, we are confident we are putting in place a commercial team that optimally positions Crown Bioscience for our next phase of growth.”
Michael Prosser, CBO, stated: “It’s an honor to be asked to lead the next stage in Crown Bioscience’s commercial growth. Our success to date is directly attributable to our relentless focus on customer experience, product innovation, and setting new industry-leading quality standards, and I’m excited to be working closely with the new team and structure as we strive to continuously improve in all these areas.”
The company added more than four hundred new customers in FY21, and to meet increased customer demand, has accelerated investments in its global footprint, with renovations now complete in APAC laboratories, and notably the formation of a joint venture with sister company MBL in Japan. In Europe and the United States, parallel investments are also planned for site expansions and strategic acquisitions.
