LabTurbo Biotech (Chinese: 列特博生技) is a Taiwanese biotechnology company based in Taipei. Initially founded in 2000 as the automation department of Taigen Bioscience, the company was officially established in June 2019. The company sponsors a baseball team that plays in the Popcorn League.
History
editIn 2000, Taigen Bioscience established its automation department. The department spun off into its own company in June 2019 as LabTurbo Biotech.[2]
In 2003, LabTurbo became a major supplier to the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control during the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak.
Baseball team
editLabTurbo has sponsored Vanung University baseball team starting in 2016 for two 3-year terms. In September 2022, it officially established a semi-professional team to join the Popcorn League.[2]
In a joint press conference, Chinese Taipei Baseball Association commissioner Jeffrey Koo Jr., Sports Administration secretary-general Lu Hung-chin, and LabTurbo Biotech general manager Eric Tai announced that LabTurbo Biotech would become the league's 11th team.[3] The team follows the "industrial league" model in Japan, where players are employed by sponsoring companies and receive salaries as company employees, not as baseball players.[4]
LabTurbo got its first ever win on 25 April 2023, defeating Chii Lih Coral, after starting the season with 7 consecutive losses.[5] In the 2024 season, former China Times Eagles player Liao Ming-hsiung was hired as manager. The team started the season with 10 consecutive losses and ended its losing streak on 8 January 2024, after defeating Chii Lih Coral.[6]
