MeadWestvaco has announced a $7.5 million expansion of its pharmaceutical manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Hemer, Germany, an expansion the company attributes largely to growth in the preservative-free nasal product market. According to the company, the project includes additional capacity in clean room molding and assembly. MWV offers a number of spray pumps for nasal, oral, and buccal delivery, including a preservative-free nasal pump.
MWV VP and General Manager of the Medical Plastics Division Sven-Uwe Höhm commented, “This investment underlines MWV’s position as an innovation leader in healthcare dispensing systems and our commitment to manufacturing high quality products in the appropriate regulatory environment.”
The company says that it anticipates completion of the expansion by the end of 2013. An unspecified number of new employees will be hired to support the increased capacity in Hemer.
