Paramus-based Community Blood Services (a non-profit organization) will expand its umbilical cord blood laboratory and move it to an industrial park in Allendale.

The cord blood storage, processing and collection facility has simply outgrown the building, said James Matrisciano, the group’s vice president of operations.

It will move 15 employees and all of its cord blood operations to the building, which it expects to occupy by June.

However it’s blood and bone marrow donation operations will remain in the 23,000-square-foot headquarters it owns in Paramus, near Route 17.

Community Blood Services was one of two community blood banks designated by then-Gov. Richard Codey last year for a pilot program to store umbilical cord blood. Link
