GSK to infuse £200M into UK manufacturing, pharma API In a strategic move to fortify its manufacturing capabilities, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is demonstrating a steadfast commitment to the United Kingdom, announcing an investment exceeding £200 million ($253 million) by 2025. The pharmaceutical giant is channeling substantial resources into enhancing its U.K. supply network, encompassing the construction of new facilities and the development of innovative assembly lines. A pivotal aspect of this initiative is the ongoing £67 million ($85 million) upgrade to GSK's manufacturing site in Montrose, Scotland. Scheduled for completion this year, the upgraded facility will play a crucial role in producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) to support the future supply of medicines. Furthermore, GSK is set to commence operations at its £65 million ($82 million) site in Ware, England, which commenced operations in September. This global manufacturing hub for GSK will be pivotal in manufacturing some of the company's most "commercially important" medicines, including those addressing HIV. GSK's commitment to the U.K. is underscored by its investment in six manufacturing sites across the country. This strategic move stands in contrast to some industry peers, such as AstraZeneca, which opted for international expansion, citing concerns about the U.K.'s tax policies. Notably, GSK is not limiting its investments to the U.K., recently pledging 250 million euros ($273 million) for a state-of-the-art facility at its Wavre campus in Belgium, supporting the company's burgeoning vaccine ambitions, including the launch of its RSV shot, Arexvy. As GSK forges ahead with these strategic investments, it solidifies its position as a key player in the global pharmaceutical landscape. #api #pharmamanufacturing #biotech #bigpharma #sanofi #gsk #pfizer #sunpharma #cipla #lupin #drreddys #pharmamarketing #pharmacompanies
