The Crumlin-based manufacturer and leading supplier of immunodiagnostic reagents was among 49 businesses to be named as finalists in this year’s highly anticipated awards, celebrating the country’s most innovative and dynamic manufacturers.

BBI’s success was revealed in a virtual ceremony on Thursday, 15 April, following a forum hosted by Insider Wales’ Douglas Friedli, which discussed the challenges and opportunities that the Welsh manufacturing industry has faced over the last year.

The award recognised BBI Solutions’ position as a leading expert in immunoassay development and manufacturing services, providing an extensive portfolio of products and technologies to the global diagnostics market.
