The pharma services business unit of Almac has announced plans to invest $10m in a new 100,000ft² commercial facility in Audubon, Pennsylvania, US to expand its commercial packaging operations.
Almac commercial operations vice president David Downey said the company has taken the strategic step of establishing a US based operation for commercial packaging services, to address the communicated needs of its clients.
Almac said the addition of the Audubon facility will allow the company to offer packaging services local to the US market place, providing cost saving and mitigating supply risks. The UK-based firm is a member of the BCMPA.
Refurbishment of the facility has commenced and systems handover is scheduled for fall 2012, following completion of the evaluation and feasibility design work.
The company will offer commercial primary and secondary packaging of tablets and capsules into bottles, blisters, wallets and hospital unit dose formats along with secondary labeling and packaging of biopharmaceutical presentations such as vials and ampoules, upon receiving FDA approval.
The Almac Group provides a broad range of services from R&D, biomarker discovery and development, API manufacture, formulation development, clinical trial supply and IXRS technology.
