Governor Rendell Says Hundreds of Jobs Coming to York County as Medical Device Manufacturer Prepares to Expand
Date:10/24/2009

vices, we are committed to helping enhance the international credentials of Pennsylvania as a place for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies to do business," said Alan Shortall, Unilife Medical Solutions CEO. "We are very pleased that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has chosen to offer Unilife this significant funding package, and we are fortunate to be working with a government that displays the leadership and forward-thinking needed to support companies such as Unilife."

Unilife Medical Solutions Limited is an Australian publicly-listed designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative safety medical devices. Core areas of its business activity are the pharmaceutical market for pre-filled syringes, the healthcare market for sharps safety devices, and medical device contract manufacturing. To support its U.S. expansion plans, the company is preparing to undertake a listing on NASDAQ.

Unilife has built a significant business relationship with sanofi-aventis to support the industrialization of its Unilife pre-filled syringe. Pilot production of the syringe began at the Lewisberry facility last year; full commercial production will occur at the company's new facility in York County. Unilife will also manufacture the Unitract 1mL range of syringes at the facility for use in healthcare facilities and by people with diabetes.

The project was coordinated by the Governor's Action Team, economic development professionals who serve as a single point-of-contact for businesses that are considering locating or expanding in the state.

Pennsylvania is providing the company with a $5.2 million funding package that includes a $500,000 opportunity grant, a $2 million loan from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority, a $2 million grant through either the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program or the Infrastructure Facilities Improvement Program, $200,000 in job training assistance and $482,000 in job creation tax credits.
