Chesapeake to Expand and Relocate North American Pharmaceutical Packaging Operation

A $175,000 capital grant from the state of New York’s Empire State Development Corporation for job creation in Hicksville played a key role in the decision to locate the plant there, according to Henfling. Chesapeake expects to complete the move from 7 Delaware Drive in Lake Success to 325 Duffy Avenue in Hicksville by the end of March 2008. All 140 current employees are expected to make the move. The new facility will have ISO9001:2000 certification and will maintain the same Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
