Our Kirkham site was established in 1976 on a sixteen-acre site, comprising four individual manufacturing rooms for the production of pharmaceuticals.
Finished product capacity includes, topicals, viscous emulsions, ointments, lotions, gels, liquid suspensions and syrups. Additionally there is a base mixing facility to produce on site, cutting transportation and additional production costs for our partner clients.
The site has holding vessels of up to 25,000ltr for raw materials and incoming bulk deliveries, complemented by mixing vessels from 100ltr to 7,500ltr.
Filling is a speciality of the Kirkham site, offering segregated modular cells, allowing both choice and versatility with the option of automation and hand filling as required. Flexibility is the key to Kirkham, as we can adjust the capacity by shift, providing labour and production advantages.
Kirkham has the ability to pack in a variety of containers to suit customer requirements. These include materials such as bottles, tubes, tottles and jars in glass, plastic or aluminium. Also available are trigger, lotion, spray pumps and roll-on deodorant formats.
