Enzo Biochem’s expanded lab in Farmingdale offers room for growth

Enzo Biochem’s newly expanded life sciences lab and offices allows for growth in clinical laboratory services, drug development services and product innovations.

The official launch of the 46-year-old company’s 100,000-square-foot  facilities was held Thursday morning.

A global healthcare company, Enzo Biochem offers products and services to support medical research and life sciences drug development as well as clinical diagnostic services.

At its new facility in Farmingdale, the company is expanding its manufacturing operations and adding new job opportunities.  Currently, the company employs 500 employees and aims to hire additional talent in the next several months.

“The last few years have been transformative for Enzo and this new facility is just one sign of our company’s growth and our plans to expand our operations in several exciting new areas in the future,” Hamid Erfanian, CEO of Enzo Biochem, said in a statement.

“It is also a confirmation of our continued commitment to the business community here on Long Island,” Erfanian added.

Erfanian  said that the company’s “success is built on a unique business model and strategy in the laboratory services sector as Enzo’s efforts go far beyond just clinical testing. Every member of our team has worked tirelessly to partner and collaborate with customers in many diverse areas including patient care, basic research, and drug development.”

He added that the new facility will help the company “expand our leadership in key areas including life sciences,” which he pointed out is a priority for Gov. Kathy Hochul and other government leaders.

Now, he said, the company “continues to deepen its roots” on Long Island.

“We remain committed to supporting the success of this region, which offers access to outstanding, highly trained and experienced employees often emanating from the fine Long Island based colleges and universities,” he added. “We look forward to building on the momentum of this past year with new strategies to support local businesses and are excited about our plans to further expand operations and target new global business opportunities in the years ahead.”
