United Drug's Packaging division rebrands as Sharp Packaging.

As of Oct. 1 2013, United Drug’s Packaging Division brought all of its commercial and clinical packaging businesses together under one name and identity, Sharp.

The move coincides with the name change of Sharp’s parent company, United Drug plc to UPG Healthcare plc. There is no impact on Sharp’s manufacturing license or GMP certificates.
