Freeholder Director Julie Acton said the new state-of-the-art facility that opened Wednesday at the Pennsville site of the Siegfried-USA pharmaceutical plant is the bell weather of economic growth in Salem County.

 

"Earlier this week we broke ground for a 1 million square foot distribution center at Gateway Park in Oldmans Township, and mid-week we are here at a ribbon cutting ceremony to open a new four-story building for Siegfried's expansion. After years of work, we are seeing the benefits for our residents," she said. "This is the harbinger of more good to come."

 

Siegfried is an international pharmaceutical company headquartered in Switzerland, with its New Jersey plant located off Industrial Park Road in Pennsville. The plant employs 184 people who use different chemical processes to manufacture the compounds that go into consumer medicines.

 

"We do not have a firm number on new jobs being created by this newer process, but this expansion provides for more opportunities at the site, and it certainly solidifies Siegfied's presence as a major employer in Salem County, " said Deputy Freeholder Director Dale Cross. "Salem County is moving forward."

The four-story building at the Pennsville pharmaceutical site will house the final manufacturing step known as a "spray drying system," which is used to separate the active ingredients from a solvent. The active ingredient solution is sprayed into a massive cylinder with hot gas and then travels through a tower until the liquid evaporates, leaving a dry powder. The process, which Siegfried officials said is more efficient and "greener," allows the evaporated solvent to be recycled and reused in another batch.

 

"The expansion of Siegfried is an important milestone," said company chairman Andreas Casutt. He said prior to construction, the company secured several additional key products that offer potential for significant growth.

Free Men's Prostate Health Seminar Set for September 24

 

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NJ (September 9, 2014) - According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. And, as men age it is even more common that they could suffer from a non-cancerous urological condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

 

In honor of National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Inspira is hosting a free men's health seminar to educate area men on ways to keep their prostate healthy and to raise awareness in the community about the most common cancer among men in the U.S.

 

The free seminar will be held on Wednesday, September 24 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Hampton Inn in Vineland. Area men are encouraged to attend. During the event, Special guest speaker Sanjay S. Kasturi, M.D., of Delaware Valley Urology, will provide an overview of common prostate issues and symptoms, as well as the latest testing, diagnosis and treatment options.

 

Dr. Kasturi is a fellowship-trained robotic surgeon who specializes in robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and the advanced treatment of kidney stones at Inspira Medical Center Vineland.

 

Refreshments will be provided. To register, please call 1-877-585-0128. The Hampton Inn is located at 2134 W. Landis Avenue in Vineland. For more information, contact Joe Profetto at (856) 641-8674 or [email protected].
