Riverside Medical Packaging expands warehouse capacity

Riverside Medical Packaging has taken possession of brand new 16,000 sq ft warehouse space on Dunstall Park Road in Derby. It is less than a mile from the head office and main manufacturing site.

Over the next three months the unit will be fitted with a high specification two storey 2,600 sq ft office block comprising meeting rooms, administration/sales offices, sample rooms and canteen.

The new facility will become the raw material and finished goods hub for Riverside’s AMD division (Aseptic Medical Devices). The administration and sales teams will be based here, along with dedicated warehouse staff.

Formed in 2014, AMD manufactures and provides medical devices in a format specifically designed to produce aseptically manufactured parenterals.

Under BSI accredited quality management systems, Riverside contract packs and manufactures packaging for single use medical devices in twelve dedicated certified clean room cells.

More than 40 years of experience in the medical packaging industry has been used to develop the peroxyclear and peroximate material technology used for AMD’s innovative primary packaging.

AMD pouches are qualified and validated for gamma sterilization and are compatible with the VHP, alcohol and hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid transfer processes used by compounders and NHS pharmacies.

AMD has seen rapid growth since its inception. The new facility provides the basis to continue and accelerate this in the years to come.
