Corporate Profile
Metrics, Inc., is one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing contract pharmaceutical development laboratories, providing quality formulation, clinical trial material manufacturing and analytical method development and validation services to the pharmaceutical industry.
Since its start in 1994, Metrics has grown from four to 182 employees and experienced double-digit annual revenue growth. The company occupies a state-of-the-art, 50,000-square-foot Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) facility that is registered with and inspected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The facility is home to more than 114 experienced analytical chemists and an elite team of 23 pharmaceutical development scientists and manufacturing technicians.
Three critical differences set Metrics apart from other contract laboratories. One, all clients work directly with a Metrics pharmaceutical or analytical development chemist. Two, projects are expedited quickly and efficiently – they don’t languish in an analytical development queue. Three, Metrics’ quality assurance team is highly experienced, ensuring compliance with all regulatory issues.
