Wasdell makes multimillion-pound investment in new packaging equipment

The contract packaging company has plans to install new equipment for the company’s blister and bottle lines, vial labelling, stability chambers and cold storage capacity.

The specialist in end-to-end supply chain service provider made the decision to invest in line with increasing demand for its manufacturing and packaging capabilities from its growing pharma and biotech client portfolio.

The investment, which is part of a long-term investment plan to expand the company's capacity and capabilities, includes equipment for the company’s blister and bottle lines, vial labelling, stability chambers and cold storage capacity.

The equipment will be installed across all Wasdell’s sites in the UK and Ireland, including the recently opened Dundalk facility.

In addition to meeting increased demand, Vincent Dunne, CEO at Wasdell, explained the company's new packaging equipment will "allow us to maintain the swift turnaround times and flexible service we are well known for in the industry".

According to Martin Tedham, Wasdell Group Chairman, the investment will also support the company's expanding customer base, particularly US life sciences companies that want to "source a provider that can readily navigate the European market and specialises in small-mid batch sizes.”
