Neuer Standort als Brexit Safe Haven 2019 war das Jahr des Wachstums. Die 2004 in Wien gegründete ABF hat aufgrund der stark wachsenden Nachfrage der internationalen Pharma- und Biotech-Branche ihre Kapazitäten am Wiener Standort um das 2,5-Fache erweitert. Grund dafür war auch, der Rolle eines Brexit Safe Havens gerecht zu werden. Der Brexit war 2019 und bleibt weiterhin, ein zentrales Thema für die Pharmaindustrie, da es für die Herstellung von Medikamenten in der EU klare Regularien gibt. Im Falle eines Austritts von Großbritannien aus der EU wäre die ABF mit ihren Partnerfirmen in der GBA Group Pharma einer der wenigen Dienstleister in der EU, die diese Kriterien abdecken können.

On December 5th, 2019 the World Food Organization FAO points out the importance of the soil on the "World Soil Day". Soils are the basis of the ecosystem. They filter water, bind nutrients, and supply and feed the plants that feed humans and animals. However, soils are also exposed to high levels of pollution: pollutants from natural sources, but also from industry, agriculture, traffic and private households can accumulate in the soil. They enter the food chain via groundwater or plants. This year the focus of the World Soil Day is on the subject of "erosion".
