New factory takes AGC Danmark to another level within the corporation

Demand for medication production is now so high that AGC Biologics' Danish unit expects to sell the output of almost full production capacity at the company's new factory within three years after commissioning, expectedly in 2023.

Construction of the new factory in Copenhagen is a major project for AGC Biologics, both locally and for the group as a whole.
