Spectra Laboratories, a subsidiary of kidney care company Fresenius Medical Care, has opened a 200,000-square-foot renal lab in Southaven, Miss., the DeSoto Times-Tribune reported Aug. 20.
The new facility is Spectra's largest, and its location in Southaven — a suburb of Memphis — places it near a major FedEx hub. Ines Dahne-Steuber, president of Spectra, said the proximity will allow for fast sample testing turnaround.
Spectra said it expects to create more than 200 jobs in Southaven over the next several years.
