Following a period of sustained growth, life science logistics company Biocair has relocated and expanded its Chicago office and warehouse facility. As part of its wider global growth strategy, the leading specialist has increased its 2,904 sq. ft. space by more than double, securing a new 7,213 sq. ft. facility just three miles from the key cargo complex at O’Hare International Airport.
The facility will house certified packaging and conditioning areas for a wide range of temperatures, including an advanced liquid nitrogen service station and office space for operations staff. Biocair first moved to Chicago in 2021, bringing its total number of offices in the US to 10.
The arrival in Illinois and subsequent facility expansion reflects its ongoing commitment to the region, further increasing local support to customers and building strong partnerships in the scientific community. Once O’Hare’s new Global Terminal is completed in 2026, it will only be one mile from Biocair’s Chicago facility, further developing the company’s industry-leading life science supply chain solutions within the US and globally.
Commenting on the expansion, Danny Ninkovic, Director of Transport and Warehouse Operations at Biocair shares: “The move to Chicago is a real success story for Biocair. Customer demand for our specialist logistics support has seen every element grow, from the space we need to operate to the number of vehicles, which has more than tripled in size.
“We have cemented our position as one of Biocair’s key logistics hubs. With experts in supply chain, temperature-control and regulatory compliance, our team offers the very best support to Chicago’s renowned biopharma cluster, which will only increase thanks to our recent facility expansion.”
As a business, Biocair has been delivering excellence in pharmaceutical, biotech and life science logistics for over 35 years. The company also recently announced a major expansion of its Edinburgh facility, now spanning two sites over 5,000 sq. ft. housing operations and administration support.
