Almac Pharma Services Expands it Commercial Support Capability
March 20, 2008
Due to increasing demand for commercial support services in Europe from non-EU based manufacturers, Almac Pharma Services has completed a series of investments that will strengthen its capabilities in a growing service area.
As new projects have been secured, the company has expanded its modular refrigerated rand frozen storage facilities, enabling it to take more temperature sensitive drug products into its commercial portfolio.
The company’s ability to offer custom storage, labelling, packing and distribution services from brite stock inventories has also been enhanced through the acquisition of additional bespoke vial/ampoule labelling equipment.
Complementing this expanded capability, the company is at late stage development of an e-portal that will improve material handling at all stages of the supply chain and offer clients, secure, online access to vital supply data thus improving decision-making and service levels.
Almac Pharma Services’ President & M.D, Graeme McBurney commented, “These investments add to the already significant “single site” service advantages available within the company.” He said, “Reliable and experienced providers of all these services are very difficult to secure, yet the services are vital to every successful product launch in Europe by niche and speciality Pharma companies”.
