Kevin Orfan, US President of Sharp Packaging said: “We are seeing increased demand for our packaging capabilities from clients across the biotech industry, with the injectables sector growing significantly in recent years.
“We are making these capacity expansions on behalf of our clients and through our parent UDG Healthcare. Sharp has invested continuously to keep pace with demand for our services. This expansion is intended to support that demand into the future.”
