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)
“I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is closing time in the gardens of the West and from now on an artist will be judged only by the resonance of his solitude or the quality of his despair.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
