Kibow Biotech Marks Its Continued Growth with Relocation to Larger Facilities

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kibow Biotech Inc. (KIBOW) is pleased to announce its recent relocation to a custom-built probiotic R&D center dedicated to the development and commercialization of natural formulations (mainly targeting renal failure). The new 7500 sq. ft. center is located at 4781 West Chester Pike, very close to the Company's previous operations at 4629 West Chester Pike in the same Newtown Square, PA area. For Kibow, the custom-built R&D facility and new office space means expanded research operations and also improved client service, new amenities for employees and room for growth.

The facility includes 2500 sq. feet of R&D lab space divided into six separate labs with a large office work area for the lab staff. Each lab is fully equipped with the necessary operational equipment, instruments and safety facilities in compliance with local, state and federal regulations, as well as with the Occupational Safety Hazard Authority (OSHA) ordinances. The rest of the 5000 sq. ft. area is comprised of six corporate management offices, several well-designed cubicles for sales, marketing and customer service staff, a state-of-the-art web and teleconference & lunch room and a combined cold room and shipping facilities.

"As a consequence of the positive market reaction to our recent introduction of Renadyl™ (http://www.Renadyl.com) for kidney compromised patients, and in view of the continued success of Azodyl™, our animal formulation under world-wide license to Vetoquinol, SA (http://www.vetoquinolusa.com), we needed to expand. We were fortunate to find an appropriate space so close to our previous office. We really wanted to limit the impact that relocation could have on our clients and our employees. I don't think we could have found a better location for our team. Our new location and enhanced operational efficiencies will help us continue to grow and evolve to keep pace with our customers' needs, allowing us to provide exceptional value and superior service along the way," said Dr. Natarajan Ranganathan - the Managing Director.

Our new address will be: 4781 West Chester Pike, Newtown Square, PA 19073. All of Kibow's phone numbers and fax numbers will remain the same.
