Eckert & Ziegler Opens New Radiopharmaceutical Facilities in Dresden

Berlin, 20.08.2024. Eckert & Ziegler inaugurated its new 1,700 square meter facilities in Dresden, attended by Saxon State Ministers Martin Dulig and Thomas Schmidt, as well as Dresden Mayor Dirk Hilbert. The Dresden-Rossendorf site will produce high-tech systems for radiopharmaceuticals and provide services for radioactive product handling in cancer medicine. The company is investing up to €50 million and aims to employ up to 100 additional highly qualified staff.

Dr. Gunnar Mann, from the Group Executive Committee, highlighted that the expansion is to meet the growing demand for nuclear medicine compounds. The current Rossendorf site has around 100 employees, with plans to double this number.

Martin Dulig noted the success of Eckert & Ziegler in the region and the supportive conditions Saxony offers. Thomas Schmidt praised the area's growth into a leading radiopharmaceutical center, calling it a "Silicon Valley of radiopharmacy." Mayor Dirk Hilbert emphasized that the expansion aligns with Dresden's strategy to become a center for medical and nuclear research.
