Boehringer Ingelheim microParts to expand production capacity in Dortmund
The new, four-story production building will be built on the company's premises in Dortmund's science park. With a floor space of 12,000 square metres - 4,000 of which will be cleanroom areas - the new facility will be used primarily to manufacture the Respimat® Soft MistTM Inhaler for the world market. It will double production capacity at the Dortmund site from 10 to 20 million inhalers a year.
A high stacker warehouse is to be built alongside the new production building to deal with the increased material flows. The building is scheduled for completion mid 2008 and for commissioning mid 2009. The investment will also lead to the creation of new, high-tech jobs. Boehringer Ingelheim microParts plans to recruit up to 150 new staff for its development and production units by the year 2010.
