SHL's largest facility to date, the Liufu site spans 63,000m2 of modern office 
space and advanced manufacturing capacities. SHL has already installed five 
dozen brand new, fully electric injection molding machines and has further 
plans to expand to over 100 - promising high volume production of SHL Medical's 
autoinjectors. The site also boasts a dozen cutting-edge, fully automated 
high-output assembly equipment. The facility was built to ensure not only 
optimal production but also ensure quality of SHL Medical's line of drug 
delivery devices using advanced, high-accuracy testing and laboratory equipment.

A state-of-the-art building, the Liufu site is designed with energy-efficient 
features. Among these, heat generated from its fully electric molding machines 
can be repurposed for power-saving consumption. Also, the facility utilizes a 
centralized monitoring system to automatically manage energy consumption, 
ensuring efficient electricity usage.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by various professionals and government 
dignitaries. The Speaker of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan, Su Jia-Chyuan and Vice 
Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-Hua were all present to grace the 
celebration. Officials from the central as well as local Taoyuan government 
were welcomed by SHL Founder Roger Samuelsson and SHL Medical CEO Ulrich 
Faessler.

"With decades of industry experience and beyond, we move towards an 
unprecedented expansion of our people and facilities. Establishing the Liufu 
facility is part of our vision and commitment to advancing the production of 
our autoinjectors, which have helped redefine the patient experience of 
self-injection over the years," said Ulrich Faessler, CEO of SHL Medical. 

Celebrating 30 years of unparalleled leadership in the drug device industry, 
SHL welcomes the advent of digital technologies and the inherent advantages it 
brings to the future of healthcare. Strongly realizing the need to develop 
connected therapeutics-SHL, in collaboration with digital healthcare companies, 
will establish connected devices that will help improve the drug device 
experience of end users. Currently, SHL has also been active in supporting the 
development of a solar-powered water distribution system as part of its agenda 
to support clean water for sustainable food production.

SHL is ready to commence with the Liufu factory's automated manufacturing 
operations.
