In addition to Almac Group’s recent announcement regarding expansion of its global analytical services capabilities, the organization has unveiled expansion plans at its Athlone facility.
Almac employs over 150 analysts working in GMP/GLP environments from its 3 locations in Craigavon, UK; Athlone, Ireland; and Souderton, PA.
In October, Almac’s sciences business unit united its capabilities to form a global analytical group to meet the varying requirements of its clients’ development programs.
As a result of ongoing and increased demand, Almac is now investing significantly in additional laboratory space at its Athlone facility in order to support microbiology and GMP analysis of small and large molecules.
As a result of this expansion, the company will seek to double its existing workforce with up to 40 new jobs being created in the next 24 months.
“When we acquired the Athlone facility in 2017 we recognized a clear potential to expand and develop the highly experienced team to complement our analytical services at our global headquarter campus and facility in the U.S.,” said John Robson, vice president quality operations, Almac Sciences. “Almac is committed to offering a best-in-class service to our global client base and delighted to continue at pace with significant investment across all our facilities in order to strengthen our competitive position in the marketplace.”
