Pharmaceutical liquids, ointments, creams, sachets and powders

The acquisition of Pinewood Healthcare in Southern Ireland has expanded Wockhardt’s production capabilities for non beta-lactam sachets and powders (non-penicillin powders), oral liquids and suspensions, creams and ointments.

Established in 1976, Pinewood employs 350-400 people and has exported products worldwide for over 20 years. Pinewood offers a truly professional service to its customers and already partners with a number of multinational clients. Significant investment at the Tipperary manufacturing site has resulted in a first-class, internationally audited, state-of-the-art facility. The plant has capacity for over 50 million finished packs of product per year.

The in-house research and development division has long-standing expertise in the formulation of liquids, ointments and creams.
