New Supplier Partners
The Biocom California Purchasing Group continues to advance our partnerships to enable the business operations of members across the nation and around the world. We are proud to have added three new suppliers to our portfolio in 2023:
OmniSync,
MESH/diversity, and
Thermo Fisher Financial Services. Each was specifically curated by our Purchasing Group team to reflect the interests and needs of our members, as driven by the PG Advisory Committee and member feedback. As always, please reach out to your
regional business development representative with any questions or recommendations about the Biocom California Purchasing Group portfolio.
Sustainability Hub & Guide
In celebration of Earth Day, we launched our
Supplier Sustainability Hub this year. The site makes it easy to explore the scope of sustainable offerings from our portfolio of endorsed partners. From lab supplies to office staples, there are many ways to make a difference. Discover the suppliers that offer sustainable product alternatives relevant for your business and get started with making small, realistic changes today.
Expansion of Our Member Engagement Team
In an effort to build on the tailored support we offer each member, in 2023 we launched our Member Engagement Team. Consisting of representatives based in each of our key California regions, the team serves as a trusted point of contact for our members. Through their addition, we expanded our Purchasing Group team to over 15 dedicated, full-time employees and are on track to welcome more in the new year.
Our Partnership With Thermo Fisher Scientific Grows
As the world leader in serving science, Thermo Fisher Scientific continues to be an invaluable partner to our membership. Since 2016, Biocom California members have had unequaled access to the
Fisher Scientific catalog of laboratory items, with dedicated customer support and competitive pricing to help you stretch your budget. In 2023, we added
Thermo Fisher Financial Services to our supplier portfolio—with more to come next year. Email your
regional business development representative to learn more about how our exclusive partnership can eliminate your barriers to business.
Welcoming Our First Director of DE&I
In 2023, we welcomed Biocom California’s first Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI),
