Medical firm invests in Norfolk lab

Medical manufacturer Aeropak is set for continued growth following a £300,000 investment in a new testing laboratory in Norfolk.

The company employs 45 at its plant on the Gapton Hall Industrial Estate in Great Yarmouth, producing a range of products including Bazuka verruca treatments, painkilling cream Ibugel and Adios slimming pills.

Parent company Diomed Developments, based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, which acquired the business in 1998, funded the new laboratory last year which will allow products to be tested on the Yarmouth site rather than at other Diomed facilities.

A quality control team manager has already been appointed to run the laboratory, with about three further jobs expected to be created over the coming two years.

The development follows continued growth at the site, which opened in 2002, at which point the business moved from previous premises in Exmouth Road, Yarmouth.
