Biotechnology companies WuXi AppTec (SHA:603259) and WuXi Biologics (HKG:2269) are seeking buyers for some of their operations following the passing of a US bill in September that aims to restrict their businesses on national security grounds, Financial Times reported Thursday.
WuXi AppTec is planning to sell WuXi Advanced Therapies, which operates four laboratories and manufacturing facilities in Philadelphia, while WuXi Biologics is testing buyer interest for some of its production facilities in Europe, according to the report.
