Global pharmaceutical packaging firm Origin has announced it is opening a second 海角视频 facility at a thriving science campus.
The business, which is headquartered in Melton, East Yorkshire, has invested heavily in its current base in the last two years.
It now hopes the new facility at Alderley Park in Macclesfield will provide a perfect home to specialise in its cutting-edge pharmaceutical packaging products.
Rich Quelch, global head of marketing at Origin, said: “Alderley Park was the natural choice for Origin to open its next strategic 海角视频 office, helping us to create strong partnerships on the ground with emerging 海角视频 pharma start-ups, in addition to our ever-expanding global network of clients.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to support the next generation of 海角视频 pharma companies and create accessibility for them to drop in and engage with our packaging technologists.”
Origin designs, manufactures and delivers innovative healthcare packaging for the pharmaceutical industry.
It works with global pharmaceutical firms to help reduce costs and increase speed to market for products.
At the new Alderley Park facility, Origin will introduce pharma start-ups to the latest digital products, including Smart-I, one of the world’s most advanced anti-counterfeiting solutions using encryption technology to prevent the duplication of data and heighten security.
