(Stirling UltraCold).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>de Greef commented, &#8220;Our entire operations team worked tirelessly alongside their colleagues in engineering and quality to improve the performance of our ULT freezer product line. I&#8217;m pleased to report the product line is now stable, with orders shipping from current inventory and record-high overall product quality. Our supply chain team continues to successfully source critical components in this challenging global industrial climate and our global field service team is on track to complete the field upgrade of our pre-2022 installed base of ULT freezers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>de Greef commented further, &#8220;It is with full confidence now that I re-announce my retirement and our plan to hand my global operations responsibilities to Geraint Phillips, current Vice President of Freezer Operations in <span class=\"xn-chron\">January 2023<\/span>. Having worked closely with Geraint over the last year,\u00a0I have complete faith in\u00a0his ability to assume a broader role within BioLife by utilizing his decades long operations management experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Mike Rice<\/span>, Chairman and CEO, remarked, &#8220;Our entire team and Board are extremely grateful to Rod for his contributions to the success of BioLife over the past two decades.\u00a0 He was instrumental in building and financing the business in our early years, and as a seasoned operator he later contributed greatly as we scaled up the business through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. We particularly appreciate his delayed retirement to pilot us through a challenging integration process. While we celebrate his well-deserved retirement, we are grateful that Rod will remain with BioLife as a Director, bringing his extensive knowledge of the Company and our industry to support us in our next leg of growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I share Rod&#8217;s confidence in Geraint and am comforted to know that our global operations will be in the hands of such a highly competent professional,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips joined BioLife as Vice President, ULT Freezer Product Line upon the closing of the acquisition of Global Cooling, where he held the position of Chief Operating Officer. Since joining BioLife, Phillips was promoted to Vice President of Freezer Operations with responsibility for overseeing the Company&#8217;s liquid nitrogen storage freezer product lines. His career spans more than 20 years of operational executive leadership positions that include Brooks Automation (now Azenta Life Sciences) and PerkinElmer, where he held global responsibilities for a number of divisions.
