IMCD Group has significantly expanded its laboratory capability with the addition of a new pharma laboratory in Huerth (near Cologne), Germany. This new space totals over 120 sq m of laboratory, office and conference facilities.
The IMCD Pharmaceutical Technical Centre (PTC) will focus on training and market support throughout Europe. By the end of the year the PTC will be equipped to support activities for solid-dose development, tablet-coating and the development of suspensions and syrups.
Dr Alen Guy, Technical Director, IMCD Pharma says, “This laboratory is a substantial investment in IMCD’s capabilities and provision of essential service to its many customers. Strategically located in Europe, this laboratory allows us to greatly enhance our internal training and technical support for the rapidly expanding number of projects we are involved with.”
Significantly, IMCD has established a true IMCD Technical Centre in Europe alongside the Coatings laboratory, quality control laboratory and sampling centre already located on the same premises. This will allow the Group to maximise scientific resources and create a solid technical interaction across the company.
It is the eighteenth laboratory for IMCD, following six laboratories in coatings, six in personal care and five in IMCD’s food and nutrition business groups.
