Gerresheimer expands capacities for Medical Systems in the USA
* Two-stage expansion of the Peachtree City, Georgia site
* Total investment volume of around USD 180 million
* More than 400 new jobs for skilled workers from the region
* Ramp-up of production beginning end of 2024
Düsseldorf / Peachtree City, USA, May 27, 2024 - Gerresheimer, an innovative
systems and solutions provider and global partner for the pharma, biotech
and cosmetics industries, is significantly expanding its production
capacities for medical systems such as inhalers and autoinjectors in the
United States. In two expansion stages, Gerresheimer is expanding the
production area at its Peachtree City site in the state of Georgia, USA, by
around 18,000 m² (194,000 sqft). The company is investing a total of around
166 million euros (USD 180 million) in the construction and equipping of the
two new buildings. Gerresheimer will create more than 400 new jobs in
Peachtree City as part of the expansion. The company currently employs
around 270 people at the site. With the expansion in Peachtree, Gerresheimer
is also underscoring its leading market position as a system and solution
provider for drug delivery systems in the North American market.
"North America is an important growth market for us. The expansion of the
site in Peachtree City is of great importance for our medical device
business in the USA," says Dietmar Siemssen, CEO of Gerresheimer AG. "The
expansion of this site is therefore currently one of the key projects in our
global capacity expansions based on long-term customer contracts."
Construction work of the first expansion stage almost completed
In the first stage of expansion, a new building section covering around
7,700 m² (83,000 sqft) was built directly next to the existing plant. Around
5,000 m² (53,800 sqft) are intended for ISO 14644-1 cleanroom class 9
production areas. After completion of the construction work, the
installation of the specialized production technology will begin in the
second half of 2024. At the end of 2024, ramp-up of production will start in
the new section of the building. Also part of the new building is a new,
automated high-bay warehouse. After completion of the first stage of
expansion, the Peachtree City site will have a total of approximately 12,000
m² (130,000 sqft) of cleanroom class 8 and 9 production space.
Second expansion stage started - new factory hall with growth option
As part of the second stage of expansion of Gerresheimer's manufacturing
capabilities in Peachtree City, a completely new 10,200 m² (110,000 sqft)
plant is being built near Atlanta Regional Airport, approximately 2.6 km
(1.6 mi) from the first production site, which will have an additional 7,200
m² (77,500 sqft) of cleanroom class 9 production space and also an automated
high-bay warehouse. After the preparatory work for the access road and
supply infrastructure, the construction of the new factory building will
soon begin here. In the course of 2025, the installation of the production
and assembly lines will follow, and production is also scheduled to start
here towards the end of 2025. The factory site on which the new building is
being built also offers enough space for future expansions.
Becoming one of the largest employers in the region with over 400 new jobs
With the capacity expansions, Gerresheimer is creating more than 400 new
jobs for skilled workers in Peachtree City. Once the expansion is complete,
Gerresheimer will be one of the largest employers in the city, which is
located about 40 km (25 miles) southwest of Atlanta, the capital of the
state of Georgia, with around 700 employees.
At the Peachtree site, Gerresheimer produces medical devices such as
inhalers, components for infusion sets, microinjectors, test cards for
microbiological tests and autoinjectors, which can be used in diabetes and
obesity therapy, among other things.
