Bookmark and Share

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Significantly contributing to job recovery after defying a difficult economic downturn, Nelson Laboratories (www.nelsonlabs.com) estimates it will hire as many as 300 people during the next ten years with as many as 75-100 of those jobs coming in 2010. Nelson Labs made the announcement from its just completed nearly 50,000 square foot building—the latest in its expanding campus of medical device testing laboratories, clean rooms, and support and operations offices.

“This is really good news for Utah,” said Jeffery R. Nelson, president and CEO of Nelson Laboratories. “During a time when a lot of companies were cutting back and laying people off, we were able to keep our employees and build this progressive new building to house our expansion. We’ve committed to our customers, our employees, and to the State of Utah our plans for on-going growth.”

Nelson Labs is one of the top providers of full, life-cycle microbiology testing services for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and natural products. It has a national reputation for quality and rigorous testing standards.

Established in 1985, Nelson Labs has a strong history of growth in Utah. During its 25-year history, the company has roughly doubled in size every five years and anticipates the growth trend to continue.

Of the expected new jobs in 2010, hiring has already started with several current positions available.

The first and third floors of the new building will house support offices. The second floor is dedicated to new laboratories for the biocompatibility, microbiology and pharmaceutical departments. The floor will connect via a bridge to the original building, which is now expansion room for the company’s 12 laboratory departments.

With an emphasis and commitment to its employees, the building also includes a gym, a full size cafeteria with company subsidized hot lunches, and a child care and mothering room with work facilities so staff members can continue working while caring for their children.

Based in Salt Lake City, Nelson Laboratories believes in The Science of Success™. It’s looking beyond test results and partnering with sponsors to achieve long-term business goals. Learn more at www.nelsonlabs.com.
