Abbott steps up Chinese infant formula output

摘要

The facility-Abbott's largest investment in China to date - will manufacture powdered milk products for infants. When operational in 2013, it will employ approximately 300 people and will become Abbott's first fully integrated spray drying, blending and packing facility in China. It has been operating in the country for nearly 20 years. China's birth rate - more than 17 million a year - together with rising incomes and a growing middle class have boosted demand.
