Plant to manufacture immunodiagnostic tests to help early detection of diseases
Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) has opened a new manufacturing facility in Pencoed, Wales. The new, 110,000 square feet facility would employ over 350 people in manufacturing operations, quality, product technical support, human resources, finance, and information technology.
The plant would manufacture immunodiagnostic tests that can help detect diseases early, leading to patient care and treatment that is likely to helpavoid progression to more serious disease. Immunodiagnostic tests indicate the presence or level of a protein to help diagnose disease in categories such as thyroid function, reproductive endocrinology, cardiology, anemia, metabolism, oncology and infectious diseases.
John Gethin, General Manager, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, said: OCD has almost 30 years of manufacturing history in Wales and continues to invest in the region with the opening of the Pencoed facility. The opening of this new facility enables OCD to provide our customers worldwide with advances in diagnostics to improve patient care.
