Private equity backed healthcare firm set for new 60,000 sq ft facility

A private equity backed healthcare firm is to move into a 60,000 sq ft new facility to expand its European footprint.

Sterigenics, a Sotera Health company which is backed by equity firms Warburg Pincus and GTCR, is building a new facility in Markham Vale North. The facility will expand Sterigenics’ footprint in Europe to help meet the growing sterilization needs of its customers and support the company’s mission of safeguarding global health.

Scheduled for completion later this year, the facility will include the installation of a state-of-the-art Nordion JS10000 gamma irradiator with a research loop. It will add gamma sterilization capabilities in the UK to complement Sterigenics’ existing ethylene oxide (EtO) facility based in Somercotes.

Philip Macnabb, president of Sterigenics, said: “Sterigenics is committed to being the world’s leading provider of sterilization services and partnering with our customers to eliminate threats to human health.

“We continue to invest in our global network to meet our customers’ growing demand for gamma irradiation capacity as a critical step in their product development processes. Our new Markham Vale facility will strengthen our ability to serve our European customers, particularly in the MedTech and pharmaceutical fields, and help them innovate with success.”
