SHL, a leading manufacturer of drug delivery devices, will further expand operations in the USA with the establishment of SHL Pharma Systems, a state-of-the-art final assembly and packaging operation. Located in South Florida (USA), this new facility will offer final assembly, labeling and packaging services to SHL's pharmaceutical and biotech customers.



Lucio Giambattista, Executive Vice President SHL Group and Managing Director SHL Medical USA, commented on the expansion stating, “We are excited about this latest expansion project as it is very customer driven. We have built up close relationships with some of the world's largest pharma and biotech companies over the years and this facility will allow us to offer even more services to these partners. Now, with packaging, labeling and distribution services available in-house, SHL will truly be a one-stop-shop for drug delivery devices, from product design to delivery."
