Purolite has expanded its bioprocressing resin production operation in Llantrisant in an investment that will create more than 80 new jobs.
The US firm, which was acquired last year by Ecolab in a multi-billion dollar deal, said its new customer experience centre, which extends to 9,200 sq ft, will triple capacity to meet the growing demand for biopharmaceutical products globally. Included in the expansion is increased office space, training areas and conference room facilities.
Purolite’s resins, which are made of tiny beads, are used to purify, extract or separate compounds. They can be used in anything from purifying drinking water to groundwater decontamination, to producing vital medicines.
