Recipharm is investing €32 million in its Wasserburg site near Munich. A new building will house a fourth production area equipped with automatic loading and unloading technology, which will significantly increase lyophilization capacity. The building will also have the flexibility to accommodate further production lines. The company will add 38 employees bringing the total to 320. The new area is expected to be operational in 2016.
 
Armin Dallüge, general manager of Recipharm in Wasserburg, said, “We are absolutely delighted with this decision to significantly expand our facility. We have been operating at full capacity for several years now and we see this investment as vital to maintain and increase our leadership in this field. Demand for lyophilization is expected to increase in the coming years and we intend to be at the forefront of servicing this.”
