The loan would also part-fund the reconstruction of a filling unit, the expansion of existing cooling, storage and vaccine production facilities plus investments in equipment.

The overall cost of these projects is estimated at €100m and will create 197 jobs in the company's eastern German region of Saxony-Anhalt, while safeguarding others at Impfstoffwerk, a medicine manufacturer specialising in immunobiologicals.
