Operations in the UK were established in 2000 to serve the British market, which
later became Molekula’s operating headquarters. During this period Molekula started
to hold inventory and package products into smaller units for resale to the Research
market. The first catalogue listing of 500 products in research units was distributed
in 2001. |

Molekula commenced operations in Germany with the establishment of Molekula GmbH
in 2002 to help improve distribution of products to the German and surrounding markets.
Healthy growth patterns continue to put a strain on the existing facilities.

Improvements in the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) and Computing & Database Technologies
(CDT) enabled a better control of Purchasing, Goods receipt and Distribution information.
Technical data, Certificates of Analysis and MSDS programs were initiated to build
the Molekula Technical database.

Continuing growth facilitated distribution of 10,000 copies of Molekula’s 2005 catalogue

with the focus on integrating India and China into its fold. |
