Under Mr. Martin\u2019s leadership, Advanced Scientifics became a global leader in the design and manufacture of Single Use Systems for the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industries.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Martin\u2019s expertise lies in his in-depth knowledge of plastics and machine engineering. Mr. Martin was instrumental in developing films for Advanced Scientifics\u2019 Single Use Systems that withstood the critical testing criteria of the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industries. He directed the engineering development and building of Advanced Scientifics\u2019 machine automation. In addition, Mr. Martin was at the forefront of developing new products and processes that led to many patents underwritten by Advanced Scientifics.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2015, Mr. Carl Martin (CEO) and Mr. Smeltz orchestrated the sale of Advanced Scientifics to Thermo Fisher Scientifics at 27 times EBITDA. At the time of the sale, Advanced Scientifics had manufacturing locations in Millersburg, PA and Matamoros, MX and had sales offices in Europe, South America, and Asia. Both of Advanced Scientifics\u2019 manufacturing facilities utilized Class 10,000 Clean Rooms for their manufacturing activities and both facilities were registered with the FDA and were ISO 13485:2003 certified.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced Scientifics was pursued for acquisition by the likes of GE Healthcare, PALL Biopharmaceuticals, Merck Millipore, and many more large corporations.
