Crystal Lake, Illinois, November 13, 2024, – AptarGroup, Inc., a global leader in drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing and protection technologies, today announced the groundbreaking ceremony of its new pharma plant in Taloja, India, near Mumbai. The facility will help Aptar continue to meet the growing demands of the pharmaceutical industry in India.
Sanjay Kapote, President of Aptar Pharma India and Southeast Asia, commented, “Over the past decade, Aptar Pharma has achieved strong and consistent growth, thanks to our reliable products, regulatory expertise and knowledge of patient needs. This additional plant in Taloja will further strengthen our ability to efficiently deliver high-quality, innovative products and reinforces our commitment to investing in the pharma end markets. Additionally, we are keen on exploring acquisitions in the pharma space. We see significant growth potential within the pharmaceutical industry in India and the potential to expand our position in the market.”
The new state-of-the-art facility will expand the company’s existing footprint in the region while adding additional local production of several technologies including Aptar’s pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) valve, as well as breath-actuated devices and single-dose nasal sprays.
The new Taloja plant will also enable Aptar to meet the region’s growing needs by adding an additional 4400 m2 of manufacturing footprint and will be constructed adjacent to the existing Aptar Mumbai facility that opened in 2023.
