FEDERAL Minister for Health Greg Hunt officially opened Ego Pharmaceuticals' new $35m global headquarters in Dandenong South yesterday.
Ego Pharmaceuticals says the investment comes off the back of huge growth in Ego's international exports, which are now approaching 50% of the company's sales, selling into areas including the UK, Middle East and Asia.
Winner of a 2017 Exporter of the Year award, Ego is best know for brands such as QV Skincare, SunSense, Aqium hand sanitiser and Pinetarsol.
Established in 1953, the family owned business now manufactures 120 products in Melbourne and employs 593 staff across 12 nations, with expectations to double its business again over the next six years.
