[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] GC Green Cross announced on the 10th that its U.S. local subsidiary GCAM has opened a new blood center.


Located in Edinburg, Texas, this blood center can produce up to 50,000 liters of raw plasma.


GC Green Cross established its local subsidiary in 2009 and has been steadily increasing the number of blood centers since then. With the opening of the new blood center, GC Green Cross can now supply up to 650,000 liters of raw plasma from 12 blood centers within the United States.


To produce blood products, which are pharmaceuticals that isolate only the necessary components in plasma with high purity, a stable supply source of raw plasma must be secured.



Park Sung-ik, CEO of GCAM, said, “Securing stable plasma supply is the foundation for entering the North American blood product market, so we are preparing to open additional blood centers under a mid- to long-term plan,” adding, “We plan to establish two more blood centers within this year.”
