GSK wins IChemE 2012 Outstanding Achievement award

The organisation has shared the Outstanding Achievement award along with its project partners GEA, Siemens, Sagentia and the Universities of Newcastle, Warwick and Surrey

The company has also received the Chemical Engineering Project of the Year Award, for its manufacturing process, which showed that tablet production can change from stepwise and time-consuming batch processing with intermediate material transfer steps and frequent testing.

In addition to the two awards, GlaxoSmithKline has also won the Health and Safety Award for its Liquid Dispensing Technology.

IChemE CEO David Brown said chemical engineers are working on innovative projects and finding solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing society today.

"The IChemE Awards give us a platform to recognise some of the best work taking place all over the world throughout the chemical and process engineering community," Brown added.
