PCI Pharma Services Announces Bottling Line Expansion to Support Customer Needs
PCI Pharma Services recently announce the expansion of its bottling line capacity at its Commercial Packaging site in Rockford, IL. Construction of the additional packaging suites began in March 2018 to add considerable footprint for primary and secondary packaging operations equipped with high speed tablet filling, cartoning, as well as in-line serialization and aggregation in support of increased customer demand. The new expansion will grow the robust bottling operation in Rockford by producing an extra 100 million bottles per year.
“I am pleased to share this news regarding our continued investment to support the needs of our customers,” noted Angella Sutthiwan, Vice President and General Manager for PCI’s Rockford location. “Choosing the right contract packaging business partner, one that can consistently and reliably deliver high quality product quickly, while providing the flexibility to manage the peaks and valleys of changing forecasts, is critical to our customers.

PCI’s investment at the Rockford location is the latest in a series of capacity expansion initiatives across its worldwide network, including multiple facility enlargements, Cold Chain and Ultra Cold storage extension, installations of additional packaging lines, as well as significant expansion of its best-in-class Serialization solutions.
