Overall Facility of the Year Award

Lilly Kinsale’s latest manufacturing facility was recognised with the prestigious Overall Facility of the Year Award at the Facility of the Year Awards (FOYA) in Florida - an incredible recognition on the international stage. The vision for this project was to marry innovative, advanced technologies into a first-of-its-kind hybrid manufacturing platform, to support the making of medicines. Having already taken home the FOYA Category Award for innovation in April, this achievement is a testament to our team’s dedication to innovation, and commitment to excellence.
