EAST WINDSOR, NJ—Pharmaceutical research and development company Novo Tech has relocated operations from East Brunswick, NJ to the Patscentre building here.

The company opened its new offices in the nearly 43,000-square-foot office building on Princeton Hightstown Road (Route 571) on Tuesday. The building, originally occupied by P.A. Technology when it opened in 1984, was most recently occupied by Phyton Biotech, Inc. It has been unoccupied since 2007.

East Windsor Township Mayor Janice S. Mironov says in an announcement that Novo Tech, a high-tech compounding pharmacy that specializes in customized pharmaceuticals, will use the facility for research and development with accompanying offices. He adds that Novo Tech, owned and operated by brothers Patrick and Sam Patel for approximately four years under their former company name Innovo, currently has approximately 35 employees and plans to add workers to increase their distribution and sales force as business expands.

Novo Tech Managing Director Patrick Patel says, “East Windsor Township is an ideal location for technology companies servicing the pharmaceutical industry due to the township's proximity to so many professional and medical centers throughout the region. The availability of highly qualified employees is another reason why we chose to move our company to East Windsor.”
