GE HealthCare (GEHC) is investing €134 million to build a new manufacturing site in Cork, Ireland, to address increasing contrast media demand.
The 3,000-square-meter facility will be in Carrigtohill, Cork, and will enable the manufacture of 25 million more patient doses of contrast media per year by the end of 2027, according to the firm. It will include solution preparation vessels, multifunctional powder handling systems, a new filling line and autoclaves, and advanced automation systems, the company said.
Engineering firm IPS-Integrated Project Services will lead the project, which will start this month, and will create more than 250 construction positions, GEHC noted.
