MedMira Project in China to Create Jobs Here

Biomedical firm MedMira Inc. will hire skilled technicians for its Halifax operation as it expands manufacturing in China to supply international growth.

President and CEO Hermes Chan said Wednesday skilled technicians working in Nova Scotia will provide biochemicals for test kits manufactured in China.

Those test kits will be sold in India, Africa, Latin America and Asia.

"We have in China a facility that corresponds well with our quality controls in Nova Scotia," said Mr. Chan.

MedMira employs about 30 people at its product-development and manufacturing facility on Chain Lake Drive in Halifax. It is a developer and manufacturer of rapid diagnostic technology for HIV, hepatitis C and other infectious and sexually transmitted diseases.

The company plans to continue its marketing strategy in North America and Europe, using rapid diagnostic kits manufactured in Nova Scotia.

Testing kits manufactured in China will be destined for international markets only and will not be available in North America or Europe at this time.

"We believe our high-quality products, together with a variable pricing structure, will give us the competitive edge needed to compete in today’s global markets," Mr. Chan said.

MedMira said in a news release it will outsource manufacturing of basic components and product-assembly of its rapid diagnostic kits to strategic partner Shenzhen Kang Sheng Bao Bio-Technology Co. Ltd.

The Chinese company is a fully certified biotechnology company specializing in manufacturing and distribution of medical diagnostic kits. It is a subsidiary of Morningside Group, a major MedMira investor.

MedMira anticipates hiring more skilled technicians and employing fewer production workers in Halifax, but Mr. Chan said that at this point the details of the transition have yet to be finalized.

The company’s tests provide hospitals, labs, clinics and individuals with reliable, rapid diagnosis of diseases such a HIV and hepatitis C in just three minutes.
