Pharmaceutical company PCI Pharma Services is to launch a recruitment drive as it looks to expand its facility in Tredegar.

Insider Media reports PCI is looking to increase its analyst headcount by up to 60%. As part of the plans, the Tredegar site will increase its high performance liquid chromatography capacity by more than 20% and triple its capacity for sample receipt. This latest project will ensure the company is able to service both existing and potential new clients, as well as offering a project initiation in terms of analytical transfer within four to six weeks.

PCI senior vice president, international, Richard Yarwood, said “Expansion of our laboratory services is an important program for the Tredegar site. Speed to market is of critical importance to our clients. We pride ourselves on continually improving our service for both existing and potential new clients and our analytical service is integral from the early stages of analytical development through to commercial launch and the associated annual stability testing. Among our many key strengths is our ability to on-board projects faster than our competitors. This additional footprint will ensure we are able to continue to offer this speed of project initiation addressing customer need.”
