This plant is where I worked from 1979 to 1992 in QA and manufacturing.
This facility was built by Abbott Laboratories, became part of Hospira in 2006 and then sold to Pfizer.
The main facility is not damaged per se, however the automated high rise warehouse was flattened.
The 14 story tall robotic warehouse had over 40,000 pallet spaces. The warehouse floor was laid down and had to be level to within 4mm.
I helped execute the validation of the computer controlled system that kept quarantine and finished goods next to each other, only separated by the computer.
This warehouse was also a major distribution center for the east coast.
The typical products that are made there are:
IV solutions in PVC and glass, nutritionals for TPN, SVP injectables , diluents and anesthetics-morphine, Demerol, etc. for PCA machines, prefilled syringes for crash carts and surgical procedures. Atropine annd CaCl with an 10inch needle for cardiac use🤪Irrigating solutions for use in surgery.
Not tablets or antibiotic lines that require special segregation lines to prevent cross contamination.
Those lauding God are mistaken and should pray for the employees.
Wow, thanks!! The demerol and morphine...if that information gets out, every doper east of the Mississippi will be scrounging through the debris.
