Almac Group Awards Global Tender To Label One
Label One, a specialist label and booklet label manufacturer in Belfast, has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland and scooped business from the Almac Group.
The company, which employs 48 people in Belfast, received Invest NI support to develop technology that enabled it to win a global tender from Almac's Clinical Services' Business Unit. The contract will see Label One providing booklet labels and leaflets for Almac’s clinical trial products for its sites in Craigavon, the US and Asia.
Michael McGarry, Label One Managing Director, said: "This very significant new business for us came from a decision by Almac to reduce its existing global supply base of booklet label suppliers down to just four. Almac has always been a very important customer, and we were keen to develop the business. It was a contract we had to win and we did our utmost to ensure that we met, indeed surpassed, Almac’s requirements in what is understandably a very exacting and technically challenging industry.
"The booklet labels we provide, for instance, are used as an essential component of the clinical trial and offer guidance to clinicians and patients alike. The construction can involve up to 64 pages in as many of 40 different languages.
"With Invest NI support, we invested around £2 million in state-of-the-art and often bespoke equipment over the past few years so that Label One would be positioned to pitch for more business from Almac and indeed other manufacturers in the Pharmaceutical, Animal Health, and Agrochemical markets."
