Phillips-Medisize CEO and president Matt Jennings said: “The opening of our new Copenhagen GID center represents an exciting opportunity to expand our global footprint by supporting overall growth with closer proximity to current European clients, fortifying our business development efforts and attracting top talent in the region to join our growing team.”
During the first hiring phase for the new GID centre, the company will recruit 30 employees, and will expand the workforce to 100 people.
The company will recruit people with pharma and medical device expertise in project management, quality assurance, regulatory affairs and engineering development across mechanical, software and electronics.
Phillips-Medisize already manages GID sites in Europe, North American and Asia. It recently opened a GID centre in Bangalore, India.
