By working with customers ranging in size from large pharmaceutical companies to small biotech startups, WIL Research has managed to weather many of the economic problems faced by its competitors.
Able to serve the contract research needs of a wider market, WIL has grown to nearly 700 employees since its 1976 launch.
Headquartered on a 78-acre campus in Ashland, Ohio, the company provides product safety assessment research and services to a wide range of industries, including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agriculture, food additive and veterinary medicine.
The interdisciplinary staff includes experts in toxicology, pharmacology, neuroscience, pathology and animal medicine.
A recent expansion added 52,000 square feet of lab space to the already massive facility.
In addition to working with clients in all parts of the United States, WIL is poised to increase its European presence following the acquisition of Notox, a contract research firm in the Netherlands.
