Manufacturing firm plans to expand productionOperations management experts may be required by a Scottish firm that is expanding its production capacity.

Angel Biotechnology is planning to take over a mothballed site in order to meet rising demand following a number of contract wins.

Those working for the company may be interested in obtaining a APICS qualification in order to assist with manufacturing management associated with the move, which follows the firm selling off a plant in 2007 to focus efforts on its facility near Edinburgh.

In addition to the new production facility, Angel Biotechnology also has plans to expand the plant at Pentlands Science Park following a successful rights offering.

According to the contract manufacturing business, it has also appointed two business development specialists to assist with operations management.

Chief operating officer Gordon Sherriff remarked: "With the advanced biologics market growing apace in both the EU and USA we need to ensure Angel is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities available."

The announcement follows official figures showing a rise in UK production during September 2010 of 0.4 per cent compared with August.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800238276-ADNFCR
