GE HealthCare to invest $138M in manufacturing site in Ireland

GE HealthCare (GEHC) announced a $138M investment to expand its Carrigtohill, Cork contrast media fill and finish manufacturing site in Ireland. A new facility on the grounds of the existing site will enable 25M more patient doses per year of contrast media by the end of 2027. The new 3000 m2 facility – which will support both established and pipeline products – will include solution preparation vessels, multi-functional powder handling systems, a new filling line and autoclaves, with advanced automation systems underpinning production. Once established, the additional capacity will cater for the growing global demand, while offering increased flexibility and resiliency across GE HealthCare’s contrast media production network for security of supply.
