Pharmaceutical company GSK has opened two facilities at its manufacturing site in Currabinny, Cork.

The new manufacturing facility and the laboratory, which were developed with a €12m investment, were unveiled yesterday by Roger Connor, GSK’s global manufacturing supply president, and by Joe Power, GSK Cork site director.

The company says the new, €9.5m kilo scale facility will enable the site to begin manufacturing highly specialised, active ingredients for newer, targeted oncology medicines.
