As part of the project, the company considers expanding clean room molding and assembly capacity in addition to launching art logistics system designed to control the flow of finished goods and components.
Expansion is expected to commence in early 2013 and finish by the end of the year.
MWV medical plastics division vice president and general manager Sven-Uwe Höhm said, "This investment underlines MWV’s position as an innovation leader in healthcare dispensing systems and our commitment to manufacturing high quality products in the appropriate regulatory environment."
The investment is motivated by the growth observed in preservative-free packaging technology, according to the company.
At present the Centre of Excellence houses clean rooms for precision injection-molding and high-speed component assembly, R&D facilities featuring fluid dispensing, fluid atomization, design optimization and wide-ranging material knowledge, and project management support.
