US-based contract development and manufacturing organisation Alcami Corporation has confirmed plans to acquire Tjoapack, a pharmaceutical contract packaging provider operating across the US and the Netherlands. The Tjoapack acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions, with financial terms of the agreement not disclosed.
Tjoapack brings more than 35 years of experience in delivering primary and secondary packaging services to the pharmaceutical sector. Its operations span packaging and labelling for oral solid dose products such as blister packs and bottles, alongside sterile injectables including vials, pre-filled syringes and auto-injectors. The company runs facilities in Clinton, Tennessee, and Etten-Leur in the Netherlands, employing over 400 people while serving more than 40 commercial markets globally.
Commenting on the development, Tjoapack CEO Dexter Tjoa said: “This transaction represents an important next chapter for Tjoapack. Partnering with Alcami allows us to accelerate our growth ambitions while staying true to what has made Tjoapack successful – quality, reliability, and a strong focus on our customers.
“Together, we create a more integrated transatlantic platform that enables us to support our partners more effectively as they scale and expand globally.”
Following completion, Alcami will expand its packaging and labelling capacity in the US, while also adding Qualified Person release and associated services in Europe. Customers of Tjoapack are expected to gain access to a broader set of Alcami capabilities, including pharmaceutical testing laboratories, sterile and oral solid dose drug product manufacturing, and GMP pharmaceutical storage.
Alcami CEO and chairman Patrick Walsh said: “This acquisition marks our first European expansion, which is an essential element of our investment strategy to expand our presence in the global market.
“Furthermore, this increased scale aligns with our growth and expansion in pharmaceutical testing lab services, drug product manufacturing and pharma storage service offerings at Alcami.”
The Tjoapack acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of this year, pending the fulfilment of standard conditions.
