The establishment of the new research centre is the latest addition in a series of investments which have taken place over the last three years including the API R&D centre in Thessaloniki; the Innovative Formulation Laboratory also in Thessaloniki; the new manufacturing plant in Pikermi, Athens; and the new manufacturing plant in Sapes, Northern Greece, which is currently under construction and it is expected to be operational by the end of 2008. The new R&D centre will be in close cooperation with the other research units of Pharmathen.
Pharmathen is already a fully integrated company from API to finished formulations and the new facility will reinforce further its integration, allowing the company to provide a fully backwardly integrated quality service to its clients worldwide.
