Dubai – Mubasher: UK-based GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) will start production at a new factory in the UAE in 2020, general manager Sally Storey said.
“It may be that we don’t build something, we may look [to go] through a partnership,” Storey said in an interview with Gulf News.
The British pharmaceutical company did not determine which products would be manufactured, nor the value of the investment in the UAE facility.
“We’re looking to get the first manufactured product out on the ground in about a year-and-a-half’s time. That one is definitely progressing,” Storey added.
It is worth noting that GSK produces around 80% of its products in the Gulf in Saudi Arabia.
