Norwich Pharmaceuticals, a provider of full-service contract development and manufacturing services for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, announced today that the company has been recognized as Manufacturer of the Year by the Chenango County Chamber of Commerce. The award presentation occurs at a time when Norwich is celebrating 125 years of continuous operation for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
“The Chamber recognizes that managing a manufacturing business in a rural environment can be challenging,” said Steve Craig, president and CEO of the Chenango Chamber. “The continued success and sustainability shown by Norwich Pharmaceuticals indicates an ability to respond to changing market demands and contribute to our local economy.”
Selection criteria for the award included employment growth, increase in sales, contributions to the community, and current and past financial results. Previous award winners include The Mid-York Press, Chentronics Corporation, and Sunrise Family Farms.
“Norwich is honored to receive this important recognition from Commerce Chenango and the member companies of the Chamber,” said Terry Novak, president of Norwich. “We constantly are focused to ensure that the life-saving medications we produce meet high quality standards for our customers, for patients, and also for our local community. Norwich Pharmaceuticals is proud to be a business partner for Chenango County, its businesses and residents.”
Established in 1887, the company has been recognized throughout its history for manufacturing important medications. Now celebrating its 125th anniversary, Norwich Pharmaceuticals has evolved its business model to provide contract development, manufacturing and clinical services for the pharmaceuticals and biotech industries. Most recently, the company was awarded $2 million in Excelsior Jobs Tax Credits by New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. Giving back to the community remains a priority of the company and many of its employees are involved in volunteer efforts for the Chenango United Way, Chenango County Relay for Life, Commerce Chenango boards, and more.
