In 2009 the company invested in further expansion of the production capacities for the realisation of the global business strategy. Thus a new production location was opened in Rainbach/Muehlkreis in July 2009. In 2010 a new administration building will be constructed, where both the Greiner Bio-One subsidiary Lambda and the company's own clinical research laboratory will be based. In spite of the growing investments, the cash flow remained practically the same.
