History
PlasmaCare is one of the oldest source plasma collection companies in the plasmapheresis industry, and has a strong record of innovation and cutting-edge technological and process improvements. PlasmaCare was originally started by Dr. Austin Stough after he performed the initial investigational studies for Cutter Laboratories (later Bayer Corporation) in the 1960s. The first center opened in Birmingham, Alabama in 1968. It was one of the first commercial plasma collection operations in the United States and is still in operation today.
We have always been a company that prides itself in family-oriented leadership. After Dr. Stough died, the company was run by his wife Betty, then his brother-in-law Bob, and his son Michael, who focused on growth and expansion. This tradition continues with our parent company Grifols, a company that has been a part of the Grifols family for generations.
PlasmaCare was purchased by Grifols in March 2006 to help ensure that their fractionation plants’ production capacity needs were met. Grifols’ leaders saw PlasmaCare’s efficient operations, qualified training program and growth potential as an asset. We officially became PlasmaCare, Inc. as of January 1, 2007. Grifols currently operates over 70 plasma donation centers throughout the US.
