Packaging Solutions Major Berry Global Announces Healthcare Investments in India

The U.S. Packaging and Protective Solutions major Berry Global has announced that it will be making big healthcare investments in India. Through this investment, the Fortune 500 Company will be establishing a second manufacturing facility and global center of excellence in India.

This planned development through fresh investment is going to happen in Bangalore, India close to its first site. The first facility opened in 2009.

The new facility will help Berry Global to extend its R&D expertise and scale up production in several key healthcare sectors, including ophthalmic, nasal pumps, inhalation, and injectable administrations. The facility will also enable the company to enhance its supply in India and throughout South Asia.

“Investing in our global healthcare business in Bangalore is a significant step in supporting our pharmaceutical, over-the-counter, and medical device customers aligned to forecasted market needs,” remarked Tom Salmon, Berry Global's Chairman and CEO. "During the pandemic, we've learned that strategically placed facilities across the world provide efficient localized support for customers of any size. We believe this investment significantly benefits the India and South Asia patient populations."

The work on construction of the new facility is set to begin later this year and expected to be completed in 2023.
