Doyen Medipharm Adds Sterilization to Packaging Services

Doyen Medipharm Inc. (Lakeland, FL; www.doyenmedipharm.com) has partnered with Food Technology Service Inc. (Mulberry, FL; www.foodtechservice.com) to provide one-stop sterilization and contract packaging services. These services are offered to companies that outsource their packaging to Doyen or that use Doyen machines at their own facilities in the region and require a local sterilization provider. Sterilization services will also be marketed to companies in the medical industry that do not use Doyen's packaging equipment or services.

Food Technology Service operates an irradiation facility in Mulberry, approximately 15 minutes from Doyen's Lakeland headquarters. Its gamma radiation sterilization process has been extensively applied to packaging materials and is suited for the sterilization of devices. "Food Tech's ability to ensure rapid turnaround and on-time delivery is sure to attract interest from the medical market," says Doyen president Ray Johnson. "Its versatile, high-quality sterilization process is a natural extension of Doyen's contract packaging services."
