Coloplast has officially broken ground in Portugal! ⛏️ Last week, we broke ground at Felgueiras in the Northern part of Portugal, signalling the start of our growth plan to extend our production capabilities throughout Europe, beyond our current operations in Hungary. The new manufacturing site will produce Coloplast’s intermittent catheters used by people suffering from urinary retention, such as people with a spinal cord injury or spina bifida, who are unable to empty their bladder. Allan Rasmussen, EVP of Global Operations, attended the ground breaking ceremony and expressed his enthusiasm for the new facility: “We are very excited to break ground on this new site, which will enable us to provide high-quality intermittent catheters to more people who need them. This facility is not only a strategic investment for our company, but also a testament to our commitment to improving the lives of people with urinary retention. We are proud to be a leader in this field, and we look forward to expanding our presence and impact in Europe and beyond." The facility is expected to be fully operational by 2026 and will serve the increasing global demand for intermittent catheters, especially in Europe which is the company's largest market. #Coloplast #MakingLifeEasier
Congratulations with the expansion in Felgueiras. I was wondering why there is no women on the picture helping diggin in the ground. The unemployment rate for women in that area is high and wages low. Looking forward to see more women in the picture.
Congratulations!!! We are sure that Coloplast will be very successful in Portugal!
Great company and a Great project for Portugal!
Congratulations on this significant milestone! This marks an exciting step forward in expanding your production capabilities.
