Pharmaceutical packaging firm Tower Cold Chain is opening a new global headquarters (HQ) in proximity of Heathrow Airport.

The company said the 26,000 sq ft site will greatly expand its container conditioning and storage capacities, as well as enhancing its design, laboratory and testing capabilities for its products.

Features of the new headquarters include an ‘innovation centre’ and office space that “provides opportunities for meetings and product assessments, as well as the investigation and development of enhancements and new technologies”.

Niall Balfour, chief executive of Tower Cold Chain, commented: “This is another important milestone in the continued growth of Tower.

“We are experiencing increasing demand for our range of services to support the fast and efficient distribution of temperature-critical pharmaceuticals and life science products, ensuring they maintain their efficacy to deliver the best result for the end-patient.”
