PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.,
April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Pall Corporation, a global leader in filtration, separation
and purification, continues to increase capacity to meet industry
demands driven by COVID-19 with a new manufacturing facility in
Spartanburg County, South Carolina
and the shareholder acquisition of Pall-Austar Lifesciences
Limited, a China-based
joint-venture. The Spartanburg County,
South Carolina facility is part of a $114M investment which also includes production
capacity expansion at seven existing Pall manufacturing facilities
across the United States and
Europe.
"These expansion activities will significantly increase output and
reduce lead time for critical biopharmaceutical manufacturing
solutions."
These expansion activities will significantly increase output
and reduce lead time for critical biopharmaceutical manufacturing
solutions, such as single-use technology. The company anticipates
adding roughly 1,100 jobs globally during 2021 as a result of the
expansion.
Joseph Repp, President, Pall Life
Sciences, said: "Demand for single-use technology has increased
rapidly in recent years. With the global need for mass
manufacturing of COVID-19 vaccines, there is now even more pressure
on the existing supply chain. This global capacity expansion will
ensure critical products are manufactured and delivered to our
customers, so people around the world have access to life-saving
vaccines and genes therapies."
Pall's new facility, located at 816 Berry Shoals Road in
Duncan, South Carolina, will focus
primarily on single-use technology, such as the Allegro™single-use
platform. The Pall-Austar Lifesciences Limited
acquisition also supports single-use technology manufacturing,
primarily for biopharmaceutical customers in China.
Pall's manufacturing facilities in Medemblik, Netherlands; Hoegaarden, Belgium; Bad Kreuznach,
Germany; Ilfracombe, UK; Newquay,
UK; Fajardo, Puerto Rico;
and Pensacola, FL, U.S. will
expand capacity to produce and distribute the single-use
technology, media and breathing filters necessary to support the
current global pandemic and future industry needs.
