Wood wins multi-million dollar contract supporting GlaxoSmithKline in Germany

Wood is providing GSK Vaccines GmbH (GSK), part of GlaxoSmithKline Group, with
engineering, procurement and construction management services for a new
biotech facility to be built in Marburg, Germany.

The new multi-million dollar contract includes detailed design, procurement
and subcontracting services, expediting and inspection of process equipment
and packages, construction management, coordination of commissioning,
engineering follow-up during construction, design qualification, as well as
the overall project management.

Wood’s Environment & Infrastructure Solutions business has already completed
outline design for the facility, which will produce bulk recombinant proteins
used in meningitis vaccines. Completion of commissioning is scheduled for July
2019.

The contract builds on Wood’s 12-year relationship supporting GSK Vaccines
GmbH across its global portfolio and is the second to be awarded under a
five-year master agreement, signed in June 2016.

Robin Watson, Wood’s chief executive, said: “This new contract recognises
GSK’s confidence in our global capabilities and broad, innovative solutions,
based on our strong track record of supporting them for over a decade in
locations including Singapore, Belgium, Italy, France and Hungary.

“Our focus is applying our vast knowledge and expertise in designing and
constructing vaccines facilities, to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of
this significant project in Germany. We look forward to working in partnership
with GSK on this contract, which is another significant step towards
delivering our growth ambitions in the pharmaceuticals sector.”
