About

XBiotech’s main operations are in Austin, Texas. The Company encompasses a total of 44,000 square feet (4087 square meters) of operations, incorporating all infrastructure for drug discovery, manufacturing, clinical development and commercialization. XBiotech is thus considered a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company: from pre-clinical models to clinical trial execution, from discovery to manufacturing, all activities are, so to speak, under one roof.

XBiotech is growing rapidly. As of June, 2010 XBiotech had 63 full time employees. We have great facilities and excellent infrastructure for getting all our programs off the ground. But with anticipation of early commercialization of our drug products, we are now planning new infrastructure. With considerable lead times involved in bringing manufacturing operations on-line, we are especially eager to get going on construction of our new manufacturing facilities. We have what we think are terrific plans in this regards.

The campus we are building will be a park-like setting, with an “open air” concept to offices and what we believe will be the best work environment in the industry. All of our architectural designs have been done in-house, and our facilities management will be subcontracting many of the construction trades. Even our clean room facilities and laboratories will be designed, and construction managed, by XBiotech.

We believe that this hands-on approach to building a leading biopharmaceutical company is a first for the industry, and it is another way in which we are reducing the cost of drug development.
