3/20/08

On Thursday March 20 at 15 o'clock in a settlement Semilujki (street Kolkhoznaya, 1-a) the solemn start-up of a new workshop of the Open Company "SIBEX " - the Russian-Australian biotechnological enterprise will take place.

The factory makes raw material for the pharmaceutical, food, perfumery-cosmetic industry and agriculture, using the technology of the carbon-dioxide extraction and other unique technologies based on its own scientific development. The innovative technologies being SIBEX know-how will allow to receive for the first time in the world practice in industrial volumes the biologically active substance –polyprenols.

In Russia and abroad a steady demand on polyprenols. is formed now. Researches, being made now, promise a big future to polyprenols: they are medicines for a cancer, treatment of HIV-INFECTED patients, powerful immunomodulators and a number of other medicines. On the base of polyprenols can also be created means of preventive maintenance of some most serious diseases (as medicines, biological-active additive or foodstuff with a preventive effect).

Till the present moment polyprenols were made exclusively in laboratory environment, anywhere in the world there was no industrial production of the given substance. Produced volumes of polyprenols (and their derivatives) were estimated in milligrams and in grammes. Therefore opening of the new SIBEX workshop has huge value for a world farmaceutical industry.

At the solemn start-up of the workshop the governor of Tomsk oblast Victor Kress, the executive director «Solagran Limited» (Australia) Charles Pellegrino plan to be present. They are intended to sign the Cooperation agreement between the company «Solagran Limited» (Australia) and the Administration of Tomsk oblast about the development of the biotechnical industries on the territories of Tomsk oblast.
