GERMAN drug maker Boehringer Ingelheim said it has set up a 55.5 million euro (US$68.7 million) joint venture to produce animal vaccines in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province.
The joint venture with China Medical City - both parties have a 50 percent stake - is expected to boost the pharmaceutical company's production capacity to serve the growing domestic animal health market.
The manufacturing site is expected to open near the end of 2014. It is another step for Boehringer to boost its animal vaccines business following the announcement of the establishment of a research and development facility in Shanghai's Zhangjiang High-tech Park in March.
The 12 million-euro Asian Veterinary Research & Development Center unveiled in March is the first animal health R&D facility set up by a multinational drug maker in China. It's Boehringer's third outside Germany and the United States.
The localization of the research, production and sales sectors of Boehringer's animal health business shows the firm's long-term commitment to the Chinese market.
The production site will make vaccines targeted at specific diseases among pigs and poultry and will allow the firm to address local demands more quickly and flexibly.
