Almac has expanded its commercial packaging operations, investing $10 million in a new 100,000-sq.-ft. commercial facility in Audubon, PA.
 
David Downey, vice president of Commercial Operations said, “Addressing the communicated needs of our clients, we have taken the strategic step of establishing a U.S. based operation for commercial packaging services. For many years we have been bulk manufacturing and packaging US products from our UK facility. With the addition of the Audubon facility, we will now be able to offer these packaging services local to the US market place, providing cost saving and mitigating supply risks”.
 
Upon FDA approval, Almac 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.
