San Ramon, CA — After more than a decade of helping life sciences companies achieve regulatory compliance and operational excellence, ValidPath has entered its next chapter through an acquisition by AVS Life Sciences.
Founded to support the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostics industries, ValidPath built a reputation for technical expertise in commissioning, qualification, and validation (CQV). The company became a trusted partner to leading life sciences manufacturers by helping ensure that facilities, systems, and equipment consistently met rigorous regulatory requirements while supporting safe and effective product development.
As the company prepared for its next stage of growth, joining forces with a larger organization offering complementary engineering, regulatory, and quality management services presented a natural opportunity to expand its capabilities and better serve clients throughout the product lifecycle.
The acquisition strengthens AVS Life Sciences’ comprehensive consulting platform by adding ValidPath’s CQV expertise and technical resources. Together, the combined organization is positioned to provide expanded services across quality systems, regulatory compliance, validation, automation, GxP auditing, training, and product commercialization support.
Reflecting on the transaction, Doug Chew shared:
“ABI was instrumental in facilitating this strategic transition.”
Ruben Dario Taborda, CEO of AVS Life Sciences, added:
“Excited to join forces with ValidPath! A stellar CQV organization in the Life Sciences industry.”
The acquisition represents a shared commitment to delivering innovative, science-driven consulting solutions while expanding the resources available to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostics clients worldwide.
