Pfizer purchase former ADM plant site

PHARMACEUTICAL giant Pfizer has refused to comment on speculation that they may build a bio-plant on the former ADM site at Ringaskiddy.

The company, however, confirmed yesterday that it had purchased all of the former ADM site, apart from a jetty and a storage area known as the tank farm.

A spokeswoman described it as a “strategic purchase” which will ensure that an incompatible operation cannot be set up next to the Pfizer plant. She refused to say what Pfizer paid for the site.
