Marken, a Research Triangle Park, North Carolina-based provider of logistic and supply-chain services for clinical trial materials, plans to open a third branch in Stuttgart, Germany in the first quarter of 2018.

The new branch will add to Marken’s existing German locations in Frankfurt and Hamburg. The Stuttgart location will be more than 600 square meters and feature office and warehouse space. Together, the three branches will employ more than 100 people in Germany.

The new Stuttgart branch will partner with clients and investigator sites to collect and ship drug products, clinical trial materials, and biological samples. It will provide temperature-controlled services as well as contain a package conditioning area. Marken’s GMP depot services will continue from the Frankfurt location.
