(NYSE: AVTR), a leading global provider of mission-critical products and services to customers in the life sciences, advanced technologies and applied materials industries, today announced it has opened a new single-use logistics hub in Westminster, Massachusetts, to strengthen the Company's global biopharma supply chain.
