“We are particularly gratified to identify a new packaging partner that will continue employing the dedicated and talented workers at the Bethlehem facility,” said Ken Keller, president of Daiichi Sankyo. “Selling the plant to an organization that can maximize the facility is also the best long-term solution for our customers, our company and the viability of the plant.
