Increasing capacity to ensure long-term security of supply
Aptar Pharma has successfully launched its large-scale, $180 million expansion program. Initiated in 2020, this multisite international endeavor is set to significantly enhance production capacity across all product lines, enabling the delivery of over 10 billion injectable components annually once completed.
The expansion program already delivered a new extension to the existing factory in Granville, France with a focus on PremiumCoat® and PremiumFill® manufacturing. A new extension is also being built in Congers, USA and is bringing product manufacturing on the US soil for the first time. The acquisition of Hengyu in Weihai, China, also brings extra capacity as well new products dedicated to the Asian market.
The crown jewel of this expansion program is the new, state-of-the-art manufacturing plant being built in Granville, France, meters away from our original manufacturing plant. This new facility is already housing a brand-new rubber mixing line that will feed extra manufacturing lines dedicated to PremiumCoat® and rigid needle shields manufacturing. With the construction already completed, our new factory will deliver its first commercial batch as early as March 2024.
