Unicep Packaging inks contract with GSK

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has awarded Unicep Packaging (www.unicep.com), Sandpoint, ID, a contract packager for gels, liquids, and creams, a three-year contract to provide turnkey packaging services for a line of personal-care products.

In March 2009, Unicep began shipping to GSK’s distribution center in Memphis, TN. The agreement took place after the two companies developed and executed a transfer process over several months. β€œWhen GSK was evaluating suppliers, I believe it was evident that we had the technology and infrastructure to partner with them on the strategic move,” says Greg Taylor, Unicep director of program management.

Unicep developed a cross-functional team, traveled to multiple GSK locations, and executed the transfer process to begin manufacturing operations for GSK. β€œWe are very pleased to announce this partnership with one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical and health care companies,” says Clint Marshall, Unicep vice president of business development. β€œCompanies like GSK are striving for leaner and more efficient operations.”
