The new facility is expected to be completed in early 2019 and will join the company’s existing three clinical packaging facilities in the Asia Pacific region, namely in Shanghai’s Waigaoqiao free trade zone, Singapore, and Kakegawa, Japan.

In addition to its primary packaging capabilities, the company offers clinical supply services in the region, including clinical supply management, comparator sourcing, FastChain demand led supply, secondary packaging, storage, and global distribution and clinical returns and destruction.
