ST. LOUIS, March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt
Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: MNK), a leading specialty
pharmaceutical company, announced today that sites owned and
operated by subsidiaries in its Specialty Generics business have
been recognized as Manufacturing Leadership Award winners for
outstanding achievement. The awards, granted by the National
Association of Manufacturers, were received in two categories –
Talent Management Leadership as well as Engineering and Production
Technology Leadership.
The Specialty Generics business' Hobart, N.Y., manufacturing site earned the
Talent Management Leadership award. This is the second consecutive
year the site was recognized, winning three awards in 2018 for its
highly successful implementation of key two-year initiatives
designed to enhance multiple aspects of its manufacturing
operations. This year's award highlights the site's Training
Strategy Deployment project, part of a multi-year initiative, and
focused on strengthening employee skill sets to bolster company
agility and better support customers' needs and expectations.
Through implementing a "70/20/10" training model – 70% hands-on,
20% coached and 10% classroom – the changes resulted in creating a
more agile work environment and instilled a greater sense of pride
among employees.
Specialty Generics' St. Louis,
Mo., facility was recognized with the Engineering and
Production Technology Leadership award based on its seven-year
Chemistry and Facility Modernization initiative. This
transformational, multi-faceted project sought to modernize
processes and production while reducing operating costs and
regulatory risks. Upon completing the initiative, a new production
facility was opened, and significant savings, process improvements
and efficiencies were realized, along with expanded site
capacity.
"We are very pleased our Hobart
and St. Louis sites have been
recognized for manufacturing leadership by the National Association
of Manufacturers," said Matthew
Harbaugh, President, Specialty Generics for
Mallinckrodt. "We are proud of
the employees' efforts at both sites to become premier
manufacturing operations to ensure we are both suppliers and
employers of choice."
Harbaugh continued, "As we prepare for the planned separation of
our Specialty Generics and Amitiza® business during the
second half of 2019, retaining the legacy Mallinckrodt name associated with our founding in
St. Louis more than 150 years ago,
manufacturing excellence at all our sites will be vital to our
success as an independent, publicly traded company."
Mallinckrodt will be recognized at
the 15th Annual Manufacturing Leadership Awards Gala, which is to
be held on the last day of the Manufacturing Leadership Summit,
June 10-12, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency
Huntington Beach Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach, CA.
