Avantor, Inc. has opened a new distribution centre in Dublin, Ireland. The nearly 69,000-square-foot facility is the most advanced distribution centre in Avantor's global network and places mission-critical products and operational support close to Avantor's customers, enhancing the security of supply.

The new facility will offer certified Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) warehousing, on-site clean rooms, batch-to-batch traceability, custom palletization, inbound and outbound product quality inspections and vendor managed inventory solutions.

The distribution centre is Avantor's second in Ireland, adding to its current footprint of 76,000-square-feet. The facility will also create 40 new jobs, adding to the 200 associates the company currently employs in Ireland. The site is part of a global footprint that includes more than 200 manufacturing, distribution and sales centers in over 30 countries that help ensure life-changing medicines reach patients quickly.

This most recent investment demonstrates Avantor's commitment to strengthening its global biopharma supply chain. In October 2022, a new manufacturing and distribution hub in Singapore began initial operations. In 2021, the company opened a new logistics hub in Westminster, Massachusetts, a single-use solutions facility in Hillegom, Netherlands and completed major capacity expansions for critical process ingredients, excipients and single-use clean rooms in multiple sites across its network in Europe and the US. 

These investments are in addition to capabilities and capacity added through the acquisitions completed in 2021 including Ritter GmbH, RIM Bio, and Masterflex.
