Commercial Manufacturing Facility located in the USA

Formerly part of King College, the state-of-the-art facility has been primarily owned and operated by the UPM family legacy since its acquisition in the early nineties, and has since seen the successful scale-up of over 80 products to commercialization. Today, the facility continues to supply several commercial products, with the capacity to produce 700 million capsules, 4 billion tablets and 1,300,000 kilogram units of semi-solids for customers each year.

For 17 years, one of the most stable pharmaceutical companies in the US—King Pharmaceuticals—manufactured a portfolio of successful commercial products from the UPM facility. The site was also briefly owned and operated by Pfizer.
