Latin America's most modern women's health products plant comes on stream

16 January 2017

The opening has been announced of new women’s health products manufacturing plant, which is based in Chile, which is claimed to be the most modern facility of its kind in Latin America.

Family-owned German drugmaker Grünenthal invested $14.5 million to build the 1,150 m2 hormone plant, which is the company’s center of excellence for hormone production in Latin America.

The new facility will initially deliver high quality women’s health products to the Chilean market and – after the pending approval of the relevant regulatory authorities (ANVIMA, ANVISA and COFEPRIS) – it will also provide products for other Latin American markets, including the biggest of the region: Brazil and Mexico. With this investment Grünenthal will improve the access of more than 168 million Latin American women to high quality health products.
