U.S. Senator Tom Carper visits Adesis New Castle facility to discuss innovation and job growth

Senator aiming to find out how our Delaware companies are doing and what government can do to create a nurturing environment for job creation

Adesis, Inc has announced that U.S. Senator Tom Carper recently visited its New Castle facility. Senator Carper toured Adesis' laboratories to observe first-hand the company's research and development in materials and pharmaceutical sciences, and met with senior management to discuss growth opportunities that are expected to further boost research and innovation in Delaware.

Adesis - founded in 1991 in Newport, Delaware - recently purchased its New Castle, Delaware building in May 2017 to expand its custom organic synthesis, research & development, and speciality manufacturing capabilities.

The New Castle, DE facility is a 47,500-square-foot building in the Southgate Industrial Center, of which Adesis had previously leased about 25,100 square feet.

"When the Senate is out of session, I tour Delaware visiting with businesses like Adesis for what I like to call 'Customer Calls', where I can find out how our local companies are doing and what we can do in government to create a nurturing environment for job creation."

"I'm so pleased that Adesis has chosen Delaware, with its first-class workforce, to expand its operations."

The recent purchase of our building will allow us to expand our critical mass, increase our headcount, and further grow our custom molecular synthesis, research, development, and specialty manufacturing business across the pharmaceutical, chemical, biomaterials, and catalysts industries."
