Lubrizol Life Science Health adopts new name and opens commercial manufacturing facility.
Lubrizol Corporation announced on Nov. 5, 2019 that Particle Sciences, the company’s contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), was renamed Lubrizol Life Science Health (LLS Health), reflecting its incorporation into the new Lubrizol Life Science business group, which includes the Personal, Home, and Health Care business units.
The company also announced the opening of a new 5000-sq.-ft. commercial manufacturing facility in Bethlehem, PA., part of a $60 million investment. One of the first projects was the production of an aseptic fill to be incorporated into a novel sterile multi-use topical ophthalmic delivery device.
