Chesapeake plant in China

28 October 2005


Chesapeake Corp has begun construction of a pharmaceutical packaging plant near Shanghai that will supply cartons, labels and leaflets to domestic and multinational pharmaceutical customers. The 36,000ft2 plant will complement and be built adjacent to Chesapeake's existing plastic packaging plant in Kunshan and is due to be operational by mid 2006.

"Our new plant will enable us to provide the same quality packaging and anti counterfeiting technology in Asia that we have been supplying for years to the world's premier pharmaceutical companies in Europe," says Thomas H Johnson, Chesapeake chairman and ceo. "By combining paperboard carton, label and leaflet production capacity with our existing plastics packaging capability, we can now offer one-stop service for primary and secondary pharmaceutical packaging. The pharmaceutical and healthcare industry is the largest market that we serve, and this is another significant step in growing our business globally."

The Hong Kong based subsidiary Chesapeake Asia-Pacific will operate the plant, which will eventually employ about 150 people.
