One of the US's largest suppliers of infant formula is now
investing $280 Million to build a nutritional manufacturing
facility in China. This manufacturing facility, in Suzhou
Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province, China, will primarily
produce infant formula milk powder and other nutritional
products. When completed, the site will be one of the world's
largest nutritional manufacturing facilities.
The new facility will become part of Wyeth's global
nutritional manufacturing and supply network and will feature
state-of-the-art technology for manufacturing milk powder for
infants and young children.
Construction at the site started this month, and the plant is
scheduled to be operational by late 2010. At full operation,
the plant is expected to employ about 500 employees.
I don't know about you, but reading this press release made me
queasy. Although Wyeth Pharmaceuticals is passing it off as an
attempt to fill the needs of the Chinese market, I suspect
that it is simply another "offshoring" effort, and that this
Chinese made baby formula will be in our market soon enough.
With all the commotion about Chinese quality and product
contamination, this spells trouble.
