PCI Pharma Services (PCI) has completed its acquisition of Melbourne-based Pharmaceutical Packaging Professionals (PPP).
PPP provides clinical trial manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution services, and will allow PCI to offer earlier-stage outsourcing services to its customers conducting trials in the region.
PCI is a pharmaceutical outsourcing services provider, and its acquisition plans were announced last month.
The company plans to establish PPP’s Melbourne, Victoria offices as its regional headquarters for Asia Pacific, led by the founder of PPP and current senior vice president for PCI Asia Pacific, Craig Rogers.
Australia is a preferred destination for conducting Phase 1 clinical studies, and the acquisition allows PCI to provide new services in early phase clinical sterile and non-sterile drug manufacture as well as establishes a PCI depot to serve the Asia Pacific market.
