- International revenue growth was approximately 70% compared to prior year which represented 26% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Pete van der Wal, HemaCare’s President and Chief Executive, stated, “We sustained our steady growth during the first half of 2018 by increasing the depth and breadth of our customer and collaboration partner relationships.

As a result, demand for HemaCare’s products and services to support cell therapy process development has continued to increase rapidly and position us well for future capabilities.”

Our recent leadership and technical team additions, focused on the cell therapy industry, will accelerate an expanded cGMP product offering in our new facility. This includes further processed cGMP starting material, biorepository capabilities, and enhanced cold chain logistics services. These expanded products and services coupled with our 40-year history of superior leukapheresis expertise will strengthen an existing high-quality offering for our research, drug discovery, and cell therapy customers,” said van der Wal.
