Clariant Healthcare Packaging Facility in Cuddalore, India Starts Operations

Clariant has started operations of a new healthcare packaging facility in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Located in Cuddalore, the new facility will produce the company's line of Sorb-it, Tri-Sorb, 2-in-1 Can, and Getter Can sorbent canisters for the Indian and Asia-Pacific pharmaceutical packaging markets.

The facility produces products, which are in line with the US FDA, USP and EU standards for use in pharmaceutical applications.

According to the company, the new facility will increase Clariant's production capacity for desiccant canisters, as well as allow to meet business continuity planning (BCP) requirements of global customers by producing identical products at multiple sites across the world.

In November 2016, Clariant started the construction of Cuddalore desiccant canister production facility.

The company said it will continue to provide a range of controlled atmosphere packaging solutions for the Indian market, which are produced at global production facilities.

Clariant healthcare packaging business line head Matthias Brommer said: "The new site has been validated as scheduled, and we look forward to serving customers with Clariant desiccants directly from Cuddalore.

"By manufacturing regionally, we will be able to provide improved supply and service to our significant customer base in India while further addressing important and emerging markets in Greater China, the rest of Asia and Australia."

Clariant India healthcare packaging head Ketan Premani said: "Clariant canisters are among the most widely used pharmaceutical desiccants by generic manufacturers in India.”
