July 1, 2016
SENIOR management at Ego
Pharmaceuticals broke out the
special scissors yesterday for the
official opening of the company’s
new $15 million Flammable Goods
manufacturing facility.
Officiating at the event was
former trade minister Andrew
Robb, now Special Envoy for Trade
alongside Innes Willox, ceo of the
Australian Industry Group.
Along with Alan and Jane Oppenheim from Ego
Pharmaceuticals, the event
marked the largest expansion in
the company’s 63 year history.
MD Alan Oppenheim said the
plant enables the family owned
company to double its bottle filling
capacity to help meet booming
demand from its export customers.
“It’s an investment in new
technology, new processes, jobs in
Australia, economic uplift and skin
health for the community,” he said.
Last year Ego recorded sales of
$145m and made more than 19
million product packs, with the new
facility manufacturing Ego’s quality
Aqium hand sanitiser.
