Avara Pharmaceutical Services, which arrived on the island last year after picking up the assets of the former Merck plant in Arecibo, is marking its first year of operations with plans to expand production at the site, a high-ranking company official said this week.
A depiction of Puerto Rico’s La Cueva del Indio in Arecibo will be included in the U.S. Postal Service’s 2016 stamp program that also comprises Star Trek, NASA’s New Horizons and Shirley Temple among the topics to be highlighted this year, the agency announced Wednesday.
High-ranking executives from AIAC, better known as the American Industrial Acquisition Company, arrived to Puerto Rico on Monday to make the company’s official debut in the island’s pharmaceutical industry, following its acquisition of the former Merck plant in Arecibo earlier this year.
