In connection with Nanologica's start of large-scale production of silica in 2019, a supply agreement was signed with the company's Chinese distributor Yunbo Technologies, whereby Nanologica will deliver media for preparative chromatography to a value of approximately USD 14 million over a six-year period. The delivery that is now taking place is a first call-off against the agreement and is the third delivery that Nanologica has made since the company approved its silica-based media for preparative chromatography, NLAB Saga®, earlier this year. According to the agreement, this first call-off is free of charge sampling material. Subsequent call-offs will be orders against payment.
 
”It is very satisfying to finally activate the long-term agreement we have with our distributor in China and make a first delivery. Production has now stabilized and this is the third batch that has been approved and the third delivery that we are making. At the end of the year or the beginning of next year, we expect to be able to approve another batch, and from the first quarter of next year, we estimate that we will have ongoing production with increasing volumes”, Nanologica’s CEO Andreas Bhagwani comments.

Yunbo Technology (Beijing) Co. was founded in 2018 by key personnel from a company that has been operating in chromatography in southwest China for over 20 years, with the aim of enabling expansion to all of China. Yunbo is currently the exclusive distributor for Nanologica's analytical and preparative silica products in China.
