Drug Manufacturing Plant Closing
In 2011, Ben Venue in Bedford, Ohio, a division of the German drug maker Boehringer Ingelheim, voluntarily halted its drug manufacturing. In the U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors' report, the plant had rusty tools, mold, and a barrel of 'unknown liquid'. The barrel of 'unknown liquid' was later found to be urine. The company has invested USD $300 million to upgrade the drug manufacturing plant and limited production resumed in October 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words drug, plant and/or closing:
“If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction. There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism.... The dead drug leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“Knowledge is a comfortable and necessary retreat and shelter for us in an advanced age; and if we do not plant it while young, it will give us no shade when we are old.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“And if the stage-dark head rehearse
The fifth act of the closing night,
Why, cut it off, piece after piece,
And throw the tough cortex away....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
