3-24-2009 

Rockford, IL, March 24, 2009 - Anderson Packaging announces the completion of the expansion of its on-site refrigerated storage facility. The recent renovation adds 672 pallet spaces of refrigerated storage for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. The refrigerated storage was recently installed and validated for Anderson's contract pharmaceutical packaging facility in Rockford, IL. That facility was expanded last year to create 410,000 square feet of state of the art pharmaceutical packaging.

"We are seeing significant growth in the market for contract packaging of biologics as well as new oral dose solids that have heightened sensitivity to temperature," noted Shawn Reilley, president of Anderson Packaging. "This refrigerated storage expansion will accommodate future growth in these areas. Having the new facility with ample refrigerated storage allows us to meet current requirements and positions us to stay well ahead of future needs. This on-demand storage and packaging capacity provides our customers supply chain security and increased operational flexibility for surges in demand."

In addition to primary packaging of blisters, bottles, and pouches for oral dose solids, Anderson offers extensive secondary packaging solutions and specialized labeling services for parenterals including vials and syringes. Anderson also features sophisticated technologies for kit packaging and assembly of unique delivery devices.
