Introduction:

Sharp, a global leader in contract packaging, clinical supply services and small-scale sterile manufacturing, has announced plans for the expansion of its Macungie, PA site in North America to increase its production capacity for sterile injectables secondary packaging.

Features:

The expansion at Macungie will offer increased capacity for secondary packaging activities including Vial Labeling, Pre-Filled Syringe (PFS) assembly and labeling, Autoinjector/Pen assembly & labeling and Injectables Kitting and Cartoning for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. This latest investment at Macungie follows the recent addition of a 660 pallet 2-8C cold box, which was commissioned at the end of April.

The expansion adds 157,500 sq. ft. of open space to create a 315,000-square-foot facility, bringing Sharp’s total global footprint to more than 1.7 million square feet.

Plans include the construction and fit-out of new packaging suites, ambient warehouse space, cold storage rooms as well as equipment and technology to support assembly, labelling and packaging of injectables.
