Legacy recruits heavily to meet growing steriles demand

Company to reach 250 employees by year end to meet growing drug product manufacturing demand.

Mike Danzi, Legacy CEO comments: “Being based in Basel we are fortunate to be able draw from a pool of highly educated and motivated staff - the region has in excess of 900 pharma and medtech companies employing over 50,000 people. This combination of motivation, skill and experience is key to successful project transfer success and will ensure we can support both present and future customers in their drive to succeed in the increasingly competitive biologics market.”

Legacy has been recruiting steadily during the year, enabling a move to third shifts in both semi solids and steriles, the restructuring of the engineering department, additional QA/validation/qualification resources and the expansion of the IT organisation.

“New employees tell us they value our breadth of products and the opportunities they have for further professional development. We actively encourage ownership of projects and creativity, while trying to foster a friendly supportive family environment. Because in the final analysis, spending money on new equipment and capacity means nothing if you do not have the right people to run it,” concludes Danzi.
