The Diamond acquisition represents the first of many planned platform additions as the company looks to expand its capabilities and market reach. Granite Creek worked closely with VPS leadership through the acquisition of Diamond, a contract manufacturer and researcher of animal vaccines and pharmaceuticals that are utilized by veterinarians of production and companion animals.

钻石收购是该公司计划增加的众多平台中的第一个，因为该公司希望扩大其能力和市场范围。Granite Creek通过收购Diamond与VPS领导层密切合作，Diamond是一家合同制造商和动物疫苗和药物的研究人员，生产兽医和伴侣动物使用这些疫苗和药物。

The combined business provides a full suite of solutions to meet veterinarians' needs while remaining a valuable partner to other pharmaceutical and biological companies working with Diamond to manufacture their products. Furthermore, VPS and Diamond’s combined pharmacy, chemistry, quality, and regulatory capabilities uniquely position the company for rapid innovation.
