The Ritedose Corporation, a South Carolina-based pharmaceutical manufacturer specialising in Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) technology, on Wednesday unveiled its new distribution and logistics facility at Performance Park.

At the heart of Performance Park is a new 225,000-square-foot central distribution and logistics centre that is claimed to expand Ritedose's capabilities to handle well over 2 billion doses per year. The new facility is part of a multiphase USD81m investment that has created an additional 100 new jobs.

"This purpose-built facility marks the next phase of growth for Ritedose Performance Park," said Ritedose CEO Jody Chastain. "It expands our capabilities to handle logistics and distributions of well over 2 billion doses per year. However, we weren't just thinking about growing square footage, labs or equipment when we started planning this facility -- our thoughts were also on growing our people and supporting our community. We're a different kind of company that is deeply rooted in our purpose and driven by passion to make a difference in the lives of others, and we're just getting started."
