The project will see the addition of new production areas dedicated to PharmaGuard, S\u00dcDPACK Medica\u2019s polypropylene mono-material blister solution for solid-dose applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will also include a new unit to regranulate plastic waste generated during manufacturing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The German company\u2019s output at its main site in Ochsenhausen will not be sufficient to meet projected lon-term demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first stage of the Erolzheim scheme involves converting an existing hall to accommodate an ISO 7-classified cleanroom for GMP-compliant production, including a new extrusion line and a slitting machine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A separate extension will be constructed to house the site\u2019s technical infrastructure and the planned regranulation facility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Construction work is due to be finalised by June 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Installation of the production technology will then follow, with commissioning of the new capacity targeted for the third quarter of 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ground-breaking ceremony for the project was attended by representatives of the company and the local community.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The development is expected to generate around 50 new jobs when fully operational, with a further 120 positions anticipated by 2030 as part of later expansion stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

S\u00dcDPACK described the project as an important step for the family-owned group and its regional base, in line with the growth and sustainability agenda pursued by second-generation managing partners Johannes Remmele and Carolin Grimbacher since the business was established in 1964.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Erolzheim Mayor Jochen Ackermann stated: \u201cS\u00dcDPACK continues to demonstrate its strong commitment to Germany as a business location \u2013\u202feven under challenging economic conditions. As a successful, forward-looking company and one of the region\u2019s major employers, it is creating new jobs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
