27 Jan 2020
Interserve Construction Limited, the international support services, construction and equipment group, has been appointed preferred bidder by CPI to construct the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire.
The state-of-the-art development will be located near Glasgow Airport and will be led by CPI in partnership with the University of Strathclyde, UKRI, Scottish Enterprise, and founding industry partners, AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline.
CPI is a leading independent technology innovation centre and a founding member of the UK Government’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult. Established in 2004, CPI works with partners across diverse markets in the UK and around the world, driving innovations forward and helping them to reduce the risk and cost associated with product development.
The new centre will establish the UK as a technology and innovation leader in small molecule pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing boosting the competitiveness of both sectors.
