Princeton, NJ — Evotec AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EVT, TecDAX, ISIN: DE0005664809), a global drug discovery alliance and development partnership company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, celebrated the opening of its U.S. headquarters and expanded facility in Princeton, New Jersey.
 
Werner Lanthaler, Chief Executive Officer of Evotec AG and Ryan Brady, the company’s Executive Vice President Business Development and Head of U.S. Operations were joined by Michele Brown, President and CEO of Choose New Jersey, Inc. and Debbie Hart, President and CEO of BioNJ to cut the ribbon for the new U.S. headquarters.
 
Invited guests representing the biopharmaceutical and business community also were on hand to celebrate the headquarters opening and Princeton facility expansion.
​“Princeton is an ideal location for our U.S. headquarters based on its proximity to many of the world’s leading biopharmaceutical and Pharma companies and universities, as well as its experienced talent pool that has knowledge and expertise in drug discovery,” said Dr. Werner Lanthaler.
 
“Our Princeton location puts us in easy reach of many our alliance and development partners and gives us the opportunity to cultivate new partnerships in the U.S.”
 
Evotec has been involved in more than 250 partnerships since its inception in 1993 and has delivered more than 30 pre-clinical candidates and 20 clinical candidates both in partnerships and within its own proprietary drug discovery efforts.
 
Evotec’s partners consist of the Top 20 pharmaceutical companies, many biotechnology and mid-sized pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, foundations and not-for-profit organizations.
 
The Company operates worldwide and has leading scientific experts, state-of-the-art technologies as well as key therapeutic expertise in multiple areas including neuroscience, pain, metabolic diseases, oncology, inflammation and infectious diseases.
 
The company currently has more than 1,200 employees worldwide in its headquarters in Hamburg, Germany and in additional operating sites in Abingdon and Manchester, UK; Göttingen and Munich, Germany; Toulouse, France; and in the United States in Branford, CT and Watertown, MA.
 
Evotec established its Princeton office in 2015 and currently employs a team of more than 20 employees. The 20,000-square-foot expanded facility accommodates additional laboratory and office space for its growing operations in New Jersey.
 
“We are excited that Evotec chose New Jersey for its U.S. headquarters and look forward to working with the company as it continues to expand its operations in Princeton,” said Ms. Brown.  “The company’s focus on innovative drug discovery has made it a welcome addition to our State’s biopharmaceutical ecosystem.”
 
Choose New Jersey, a privately-funded non-profit organization charged with encouraging and nurturing economic growth throughout the State, and BioNJ, the New Jersey affiliate of BIO International provided assistance to Evotec to ensure the successful establishment of its U.S. headquarters and facility expansion in New Jersey.
