After having presented technology breakthrough at Plastics for Engine Components forum in February, the plastic and rubber components packaging manufacturing company Helvoet begins its construction of Helvoet Pharmas production plant in Alken.
Company unique with its production of high-quality pharmaceutical packaging components. In order to meet the increasingly high demands set by the pharmaceutical industry,
Helvoet Pharma has started building a completely new production unit in Alken.
The new plant, covering a surface area of 6,000m², will focus on production of a new line of high-quality rubber packaging components – an important growth segment in the market. An investment of 22 million Euro is involved.
Over the last three years, there has been a distinct increased demand for high-quality rubber components in the pharmaceutical packaging market.
This prompted the need not only for new and innovative product lines, but also for modified high-tech production environments that have to meet the increasingly strict standards, set by the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, large companies today want suppliers touphold the same strict standards in their manufacturing processes as applied in the pharmaceutical sector itself. Building a brand new production unit is packaging manufacturer Helvoet Pharma’s response to these strict quality demands. Construction is due to start in July and the new plant should be operational by January 2009.
