Since 1961, Colorcon has been a leader in film coating technology and this is their 7th manufacturing plant worldwide. The launch of Opadry in 1980 marked a turning point for the pharmaceutical industry—introducing the world’s first complete film coating system and revolutionizing tablet coating by simplifying processes, improving batch uniformity and minimizing error. Since then, Opadry has evolved into a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance film coatings that address a wide range of formulation and manufacturing challenges—from taste-masking and moisture protection to improved swallowability and regulatory compliance.
