BURLINGTON, N.C.

Laboratory Corporation of America® Holdings (LabCorp®) (NYSE: LH) announced today that Covance Drug Development (“Covance”) has been awarded the 2016 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific CRO Growth Excellence Leadership Award. Covance has received this significant recognition for three consecutive years for its continuing efforts to expand the scope of drug development services it provides in the growing Asia Pacific region.

To better meet its customers’ growing demand for high quality diagnostics and drug development services, Covance has continued to strengthen its infrastructure, increase its capacity and expand its workforce in Asia Pacific. These efforts have included the opening of a new clinical development services office in Osaka, Japan and considerably increasing the testing capabilities and capacity in its central laboratory in Singapore as well as other parts of Asia Pacific. The Company has shown robust growth across the Asia Pacific region and has successfully tailored its strategy to suit local conditions in the rapidly growing CRO market.

“Covance is recognized as one of the top CROs in Asia-Pacific with its excellent service proposition that emphasizes performance, global expertise and experience and responding to increased client demand,” said Sanjeev Kumar, consultant in Frost & Sullivan’s APAC Healthcare Practice. “The Company has created a strong brand perception in the minds of its customers, resulting in several long term partnerships and alliances. Its ability to address under-served needs and implement best-in-class strategies allows Covance to expand its customer portfolio. With its strong overall business performance, Covance (Asia) Pte Ltd has earned the 2016 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific CRO Growth Excellence Leadership Award.”
