DEERFIELD, Ill. – Sterigenics International announced a $15 million expansion at its West Memphis, Ark., facility that will triple gamma sterilization capacity.
Opened in 1999, the West Memphis Sterigenics facility currently offers 2.5 million cubic feet of gamma sterilization capacity. The installation of a new gamma cell will triple capacity to 7.5 million cubic feet and upon completion in early 2017, will result in approximately 20 additional jobs at full capacity.
“As the demand for medical devices grows globally, our customers can be assured that we will add sterilization capacity to meet their needs,” said Michael Mulhern, CEO of Sterigenics International. “The expansion at West Memphis is just one more example of our ongoing commitment to customers.”
“Our West Memphis location is experiencing increasing demand for sterilization services,” said Philip Macnabb, President of Sterigenics International LLC. “Given the importance of Memphis as a major U.S. logistics hub, it is a critical piece of our global network that we will continue to build upon and expand in order to best serve customers.”
