Production and R&D sites (overview)
Our production and R&D sites around the world represent the significant investments we made in 2022 to support continuous innovation.

Following significant investment, our world-class biologic campus in Wrexham has increased its production capacity with a new building and filling line for its flexible drug product (FDPF) facility. A strategic R&D center for the development of recombinant neurotoxins, Wrexham produces and distributes Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA), Azzalure® (abobotulinumtoxinA) and Alluzience® (abobotulinumtoxinA) worldwide.
