LuminUltra has expanded its U.S. headquarters into a larger office space at the BWI Tech Park.
The Canadian biotech and biosecurity company opened its larger U.S. offices for its technology and distribution center this month in Southwest Baltimore County.
The 25-year-old firm makes devices for molecular diagnostics and will occupy just over 14,000 square feet of space at 805 Pinnacle Dr., a single-story office and flex complex owned by St. John Properties in the tech park near Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
The new local office space will be LuminUltra’s shipping hub for all of its U.S. customers, said CEO Pat Whalen. The firm most recently was contracted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide microbiological testing systems for wastewater surveillance during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Everyone sees the end result of microbial activity every day,” Whalen said. “But there’s not enough knowledge of how to accurately measure and then manage it to prevent problems or optimize systems. We work tirelessly to bring the solutions to market. This new facility enables us to deliver our products to even more industries.”
LuminUltra has offices in six countries, including a major distribution hub in Canada.
LuminUltra’s former offices were divided between space at University of Maryland, Baltimore County and another smaller office space at the BWI Tech Park, Whelan said on Monday.
Lacey Johannson brokered the deal for Woodlawn-based St. John and MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate brokers Mark Deering and Drew White represented LuminUltra.
