WuXi PharmaTech Co., Ltd. Named A Red Herring 100 Asia Company
Award Recognizes 100 Private Companies in Asia That Drive the Technology Industry's Future

Shanghai, China 12 September 2005
Xinhua-PRNewswire/ WuXi PharmaTech today announced that it has been named one of the Red Herring 100 Private Companies of Asia. ''Getting selected for the Red Herring Asia 100 list is quite an achievement,'' said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss. ''We had many strong entries, a reflection of depth of entrepreneurship that has taken hold in Asia.'' In addition, WuXi PharmaTech is the only Mainland pharmaceutical R&D company selected for this honor.

"We are very pleased to be selected by Red Herring as one of the top 100 private companies in Asia,'' commented Dr. Ge Li, founder and CEO of WuXi PharmaTech, during the conference. "The award is not only a recognition of our achievement and unique business model, but also an encouragement for us to build WuXi PharmaTech into a world-class company."

During the past few months, Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 500 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. The decision to award WuXi PharmaTech a ''100 Asia Company'' reflects that the company's leading position in the pharmaceutical R&D service industry has been recognized throughout Asia and beyond. WuXi PharmaTech as well as other award winners presented their business models, strategies and visions at the Red Herring 100 Asia Conference that took place on September 5-7 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai, China.
