Clonmel Healthcare, has announced the completion of the construction of a brand new €3 million euro warehouse facility in Clonmel.
The 1650 square metre build, was officially opened by the Mayor of Clonmel Cllr Richie Molloy, comes after a previous extension of 1,800 square metre in 2017, and will see the increase in production potential of STADA AG pharmaceutical products through this additional distribution capacity for specialised medical products supplied to pharmacists and medical professionals across Ireland.
RENOVATION
The construction involved an extensive renovation and extension of a building that was over 50 years old. Previously, the warehouse capacity was 3,500 pallets, yet was responsible for moving 22 million prescription drugs and over-the-counter products annually - the single largest distribution of pharmaceutical products in Ireland in 2023 by volume.
With the opening of the new, larger facility, located on Waterford Road, Clonmel Healthcare expects to store 6,000 pallets of products at any one time which is a huge increase on last year, along with ensuring a much more efficient storage and distribution process.
Jim Hanlon, CEO Clonmel Healthcare said of the new warehouse, “The consumer demand for Clonmel Healthcare products has been growing incrementally year on year, so it was time we invested in the re-sizing of our facility, in addition to our commercial office with sale and marketing functions in Dublin, in order to meet increased customer demands.”
INVESTMENT
“We are delighted to see this additional investment from Clonmel Healthcare at its HQ in Clonmel. Clonmel Healthcare has been a significant part of our vibrant commercial hub in Clonmel for over 50 years” commented Mayor, Cllr. Richie Molloy.
