Healthcare brand increases Clonmel investment with new €3m warehouse facility

By Irish Pharmacist - 06th May 2024

Clonmel Healthcare has announced the completion of the construction of a new €3 million warehouse facility in Clonmel, Co Tipperary.

The 1,650 sq m build, which has officially opened its doors, comes after a previous extension of 1,800 sq m in 2017, and will see the increase in production potential of STADA AG pharmaceutical products through this additional distribution capacity for specialised medical products supplied to pharmacists and medical professionals across Ireland.

The construction involved an extensive renovation and extension of a building that was more than 50 years old. Previously, the warehouse capacity was 3,500 pallets, yet was responsible for moving 22 million prescription drugs and over-the-counter products annually – the single largest distribution of pharmaceutical products in Ireland in 2023 by volume.

With the opening of the new, larger facility, located on Waterford Road, Clonmel Healthcare expects to store 6,000 pallets of products at any one time, which is a huge increase on last year, along with ensuring a much more efficient storage and distribution process.

Jim Hanlon, CEO Clonmel Healthcare, said: “The consumer demand for Clonmel Healthcare products has been growing incrementally year-on-year, so it was time we invested in the re-sizing of our facility, in addition to our commercial office with sales and marketing functions in Dublin, in order to meet increased customer demands.

“This is a reflection of the drivers of our business over the last number of years and a project that will provide more growth opportunities in line with our purpose of Caring for Patient’s Health as a Trusted Partner.”

Mayor Richie Molloy added: “We are delighted to see this additional investment from Clonmel Healthcare at its HQ in Clonmel…a significant part of our vibrant, commercial hub in Clonmel for over 50 years.”

The construction was completed by Mulcahy Construction, Clonmel, with the design and project management work carried out by local architect Kenneth Hennessy of Ailtiri Architects. The entire process saw the investment of €3 million and took 10 months to complete.
