Alcan will invest $27.5 million to expand its pharma center in Shelbyville, KY. The Shelbyville center is dedicated to pharmaceutical flexible packaging materials. The expansion is expected to be operational by February 2008.

“This investment demonstrates Alcan’s ongoing effort to anticipate its customers’ expanding needs and to deliver the highest value added products and services,” said Michael Rubenstein, president, Alcan Global Pharmaceutical Packaging. “This expansion will provide additional capacity that will meet the projected growth in the North American pharmaceutical packaging industry over the coming years,” added Mr. Rubenstein.

The expansion will include the installation of a laminator, eight color gravure printing press, slitter, clean room, finishing/packing complex, warehouse facility and cure room. The project will create 40-50 new positions at the facility, which currently employs approximately 150 people.
