Steadily increasing demand for its services has prompted leading pharmaceutical contract packer Chester Medical Solutions to invest around £500K in new printing facilities.
To satisfy unprecedented levels of business, the company's existing 20,000 sq ft printing operation at its factory in Deeside, North Wales will be increased by a further 10,000 sq ft. The expansion programme also involves the installation of new equipment to maintain Chester Medical's world-class production standards.
In addition to the extra space, the investment will enable Chester Medical to obtain PS9000 accreditation for pharmaceutical packing, a globally-acclaimed standard published by the Pharmaceutical Quality Group (PQG).
Chester Medical provides contract packing services and packaging components to many leading companies in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. The company offers an unrivalled range of services, combined with in-depth market knowledge and experience, to provide complete solutions to meet customers' entire packaging requirements.
Its extensive facilities include blister packs, pot and bottle filling and peel pouch packing and assembly. Advanced quality systems ensure consistency and accuracy during the packing process, along with full reporting and traceability.
"This is a significant step forward for Chester Medical, both in terms of additional capacity to meet market demand and our ability to now go forward to obtain PS9000 accreditation," explains Managing Director David Patterson, "In particular, it demonstrates yet again our commitment to meeting the continually changing and developing needs of the marketplace."
Chester Medical Solutions is already accredited by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for a wide variety of packing requirements and also holds the MHRA's MIA (IMP) Licence for Investigational Medicinal Products. The company has been awarded Controlled Drug and Veterinary licences and has achieved ISO 13485 certification for the packing of medical devices.
