The three-storey, 30,000 sqft expansion, which is part of a $9m (€10.2m) investment project that began last year , has enabled Almac to increase its analytical chemistry workforce to 80 employees.
Graeme McBurney unit president explained that: “Increased client demand for our integrated services, from product development to commercial supply, has resulted in the strategic decision to make this investment and expansion.”
The Northern Irish contract manufacturing organisation (CMO) is also constructing a $112m (€78.6m) plant in Pennsylvania in the US, which is on schedule to complete this summer.
