Almac to Build Cold Storage Units at Headquarters

Almac’s new North American headquarters facility will feature a 271,000 cubic-foot cold storage unit to accommodate clinical supplies, in particular biologics, which have to be stored at cold temperatures.

The cold storage facility will be equipped with four separate temperature zones, two for drugs requiring refrigeration and two for drugs requiring colder temperatures. The zones range from 77°F to -112°F. The building is also equipped with vault storage for controlled substances.

“Much of the recent demand has been for biologics,” said Dave Setley, head of business development at Almac. “By expanding our cold storage capabilities, Almac is meeting the needs of our clients more efficiently and helping to bring popular pharmaceuticals to market faster.”

The company has also increased its cold storage capacity at its world headquarters in Northern Ireland, adding 150,000 cubic feet.
