Turkish drugmaker Abdi İbrahim is to press ahead with two major manufacturing projects at its Istanbul site this year because it sees it as crucial to be ‘bolder in investment’ for the sake of the country’s future.

The combined $115 million investments in two facilities to manufacture sterile injectable products and oncological treatments were planned for 2017, the company having broken ground on Turkey's largest biotechnological pharmaceutical manufacturing facility at a cost of $100 million last year.

That has now been brought forward, Abdi İbrahim’s chairman Nezih Barut said, because the company had decided to share its enthusiasm with the industry and to “make an ambitious contribution to the construction of a robust economy.”
