 "Merck's arm Allergopharma opens biopharmaceutical facility in Germany")
Merck’s allergy business Allergopharma has opened its new biopharmaceutical production unit in Reinbek, near Hamburg (Germany).
"By this € 42 million investment Merck is supporting the Reinbek site in order to expand the allergies business on a global scale. The new production building is part of this global expansion, and will support our growing business in the allergy market place,” said Simon Sturge, chief operating officer at the healthcare business sector of Merck.
Marco Linari, CEO of Allergopharma, added, “From a technology point of view, the new biopharmaceutical production is a quantum leap. It means an increase in supply safety for patients, a further improvement of product quality and future innovations towards improving therapy.”
Allergopharma, the allergy business of the healthcare business sector of Merck, is a leading player in the allergen immunotherapy (AIT) of type I allergies, such as hay fever or allergic asthma.
Merck laid the foundations for the building in December 2013. Alongside the cleanrooms for biopharmaceutical production, the new building has ultra-modern technological operations, a glass visitors’ foyer with a view of the cleanrooms and the potential for extension to accommodate further filling lines.
