Alcan Pharma Center more than doubles in size

Complex and sometimes confusing, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act poses challenges to the pharmaceutical industry. Dirk Rodgers’ book explains the law for stakeholders throughout the supply chain.


Alcan Packaging Pharma Center in Shelbyville, KY, held an open house Friday, September 19 2008. The 70,000-sq-ft plant, which produces rollstock, more than doubled in size, adding an additional 80,000-sq-ft. The facility houses printing presses and laminators to produce push-through blister lidding, thermoformable blister films, high-barrier, cold-formable laminate structures, as well as N'CRYPT anti-counterfeit packaging technology. The facility also features full support services for concept-to-prototype thermoformable and cold-form blister packs.
