Pharma group Jazz opens Athlone manufacturing plant
Nasdaq-listed specialty drug group expects to create 50 new jobs over three years
Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: JAZZ) is an international biopharmaceutical company focused on improving patients’ lives by identifying, developing, and commercializing meaningful products that address unmet medical needs.
They have a diverse portfolio of products and product candidates, with a focus in the areas of sleep and hematology/oncology. They also support commercial products in other therapeutic areas where they can meaningfully address serious medical needs.
Work on the Athlone facility began in February 2014 but it has now received the regulatory approval necessary from both the US Food and Drug Administration and Ireland Health Products Regulatory Authority to start manufacturing.
It is the first directly owned, managed and operated manufacturing facility built by the company.
The Nasdaq-listed specialty pharma group is headquartered in Dublin following its acquisitions of Azur Pharma in 2012.
