A 2013 KC Animal Health Investment Forum presenter, growth leads to permanent Corridor location
Overland Park, KS. — May 13, 2015 – Prommune Inc., an animal vaccine research and development company, announced today that it will locate its global commercial operations in Overland Park, Kan., part of the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor.
Dr. Sam Sanderson, founder of Prommune, presented at the 2013 KC Animal Health Investment Forum. The company’s recent advances and projected growth led to the need to select a permanent location to produce its vaccine products, particularly those to treat Swine Flu and Avian Flu.
Prommune Inc. has entered into an agreement with Babylon BioConsulting LLC to provide executive management and strategic outreach services. Dr. Sam Al-Murrani of Babylon BioConsulting will act as interim chief executive officer for Prommune until a permanent CEO is in place.
“Prommune is proud to select the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor as its permanent home. The Corridor provides unsurpassed logistics, manufacturing and a pool of potential qualified employee mix that a company focused on animal health can ill-afford to ignore,” said Dr. Al-Murrani.
Prommune will initially operate from temporary office space at 9393 West 110th St., in Overland Park. The company expects to hire up to six employees in the first three years with additional marketing and sales personnel added as the company grows.
“Prommune is an excellent example of the reason we host the KC Animal Health Investment Forum each year,” said Kimberly Young, president, KC Animal Health Corridor. “We are very proud of the company’s success and are thrilled to welcome them to the center of the animal health industry as they grow.”
