# UPM Pharmaceuticals Welcomes Back Pat Hatem as Vice President of Manufacturing and Packaging
UPM Pharmaceuticals is pleased to announce that Pat Hatem will rejoin the company as Vice President of Manufacturing and Packaging, effective March 2nd.
## **A Proven Leader Returns**
Pat previously served as UPM's VP of Manufacturing before 2019, where he was instrumental in establishing and developing our early manufacturing operations. His return represents a significant milestone as the company prepares for its next chapter of growth.
## **Bringing Expanded Expertise**
Since leaving UPM, Pat has built an impressive track record in pharmaceutical operations leadership. Most recently, he served as General Manager at Catalent Pharma Solutions' Greendale facility, where he successfully managed a team of more than 350 employees. His additional experience at Avara has further strengthened his expertise in scaling pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.
