Beacon Pharmaceuticals PLC has announced a massive investment plan of Tk250 crore to set up its second oncology production facility.
The decision was approved during the company's board meeting yesterday (15 October).
The move aims to expand its manufacturing footprint, boost future revenues and strengthen research capabilities to meet international regulatory standards, according to the company's price-sensitive statement.
According to a price-sensitive disclosure issued by the drugmaker, the new facility will significantly enhance its annual production capacity.
Upon completion of oncology production facility 2, the company's annual output will increase by 37.97 crore tablets, 21.10 crore capsules, 2.53 crore blisters and 2 crore vials of injectables.
Beacon Pharmaceuticals expects this new facility to have a substantial positive impact on its long-term revenue growth.
Alongside the investment announcement, the company released its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2026, displaying a robust financial performance driven by a 31% year-on-year increase in sales.
