Selborne’s principal manufacturing facilities are located in the rural community of Longford on the north end of Tasmania, Australia’s magnificent island state. “Tassie” as the locals call it, is perhaps best known for it’s distinctive wildlife, including “Tassie Devils”, “Roos”, Wallabies, Wombats, Bandicoots, Kookaburras, and a host of other amazing creatures. The northern end of Tassie is also home to scenic landscapes surrounding the Tamar River and the spectacular Cataract Gorge.

Conveniently located near Launceston airport, Longford is ideally situated as a biologics manufacturing site. With increasing concerns over the safety of biological products and pharmaceuticals manufactured using animal derived materials, Tasmania offers a safe haven from both a sourcing and manufacturing viewpoint. Australia has been awarded the lowest level of risk (ranked 1 on a scale of 1-4) for BSE contamination by the European Scientific Steering Committee on the geographical risk of BSE. Located some 150 miles across the Bass Strait, south of Australia’s mainland, Tasmania offers the added benefit of further isolation, having no common borders.
