CoaTec Inc. is a company located in Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, specializing in the production of Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) laboratory animals. Starting as Kyungnam Livestock in 1984 and changing its name to CoaTec in 2004, the company has been supplying high-quality laboratory animals essential for research in the biomedical sciences to domestic and international research institutions.

"CoaTec is a specialized company that mass-produces and supplies SPF (disease-free) laboratory animals, supporting domestic life science research through mass production, distribution, and technological innovation of laboratory animals, which are fundamental materials for research in the biomedical field. We first entered the laboratory animal business as Kyungnam Livestock in 1984. Since transitioning to an SPF Barrier System in 2004, we have been directly producing and supplying high-quality laboratory animals to various research institutions, government agencies, and universities. In 2010, we obtained full accreditation from AAALAC International and were designated as a Good Laboratory Animal Facility (KELAS) by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in 2012, establishing international and domestic standards."

💡 A Word from JOBPLOY
CoaTec Inc. is a company that produces Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) laboratory animals and must adhere to extremely strict hygiene and management standards for animal husbandry and facility management. The roles may primarily involve animal care, cleanroom cleaning and disinfection, and facility maintenance. In particular, owning pets at home may be a disqualifying factor for employment, so applicants must be aware of this when applying. Understanding and responsibility for a clean and precise working environment are crucial, and relevant certifications or academic knowledge would be beneficial for the job.
