Graeme McRae, President and CEO of Bioniche Life Sciences, commented, "Bioniche's inclusion in this prestigious listing for the second year is evidence of our success in building an established and rapidly growing global healthcare company. Our 25 years of research and development have yielded groundbreaking platform technologies to address worldwide needs in both the human and animal health fields. Our production and marketing capacities have driven market penetration in our product categories and our revenue base continues to expand.

We continue to move our extensive pipeline of proprietary research forward and develop additional revenue streams for the future."
