The site houses 13 production suites and is specifically designed for containment, meaning we can manufacture potent com- pounds, a key growth area as the industry moves toward increasingly complex for- mulations and dosage forms. The new facility also enables our contract develop- ment division to offer its clients compre- hensive 'concept to commercialization' solutions – including formulation devel- opment and analytical chemistry testing – under one FDA site registration. Importantly, the new operation makes it possible for us to control our supply chain, which we believe has significant strategic value in terms of reducing busi- ness risk, servicing our customers, pro- tecting our intellectual property and low- ering product cost. CDD: In the generic space, how has the increasingly competitive generic market in the U.S. impacted your business? SR: It has certainly been a challenge, not just for Mayne Pharma but for the entire generic industry. Particularly Mayne Pharma (Cont'd. from p. 1) challenging for the sector has been the unprecedented price erosion that began in 2016. That said, while generics have faced a difficult period over the last two years, Mayne Pharma has a diversified business platform that also includes specialty brands and contract services and through this period we have contin- ued to make significant investments in our facilities, our people and broaden- ing our portfolio through acquisition and internal R&D. Over the last two years, Mayne Pharma has tripled its product portfolio from around 20 on market products to more than 60. Our workforce has grown 40 percent in the U.S. to 680 people and we have invested $100m in expanding our U.S. facilities, approximately $80m in R&D and $900m in acquisitions. We believe these investments will drive long term sustainable growth into the future. So while the generic market dynam- ics have been challenging, we have remained focused on executing our growth strategy to become a leading player in the generic industry.

Heat and Eat Gyro Sandwiches for C-Stores Gyros, shawarma and ethnic street food have experienced great popularity over the last four years across foodservice out- lets, with increases in menu penetration at non-ethnic restaurants and 36 percent growth on college and university menus, reports Datassential MenuTrends. Millennials and Gen Z consumers crave ethnic items and adventurous fla- vors when seeking food away from home. "The expectations of younger con- sumers for authentic international foods, combined with the need for satisfying grab-and-go meal options, make gyros a great option for c-stores," declares Grecian Delight Director of Foodservice Marketing Catherine Porter. Convenience stores have cultivated a strong awareness as a reliable destination for hot dogs, sandwiches, pizza, burritos and similar foods. As they continue to expand their menus to appeal to the next generation of consumers and their more international food and flavor preferences, gyros are a natural addition to these other c-store staples. "Gyros are extremely popular at independent burger and pizza quick-serve restaurants and should be a natural fit for conven- ience stores," notes Porter. Heat and eat pre- cooked Opaa! gyro sand- wiches enable c-stores to expand their ethnic offerings and bring this authentic European street food favorite to their stores with a high quality item that is ready in under two minutes in the microwave. Each Opaa! gyro sandwich is a sub- stantial 7.35-ounce portion size for a truly satisfying meal. Available in either authentic Beef & Lamb Gyro with a Greek Yogurt Tzatziki packet, or Chicken Gyro with a Honey Mustard sauce packet, both are wrapped in a delicious soft pita. Grecian Delight, A Pure Mediterranean Foods Company, brings the very best of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with products including gyros and specialty meats, pitas and flatbreads, tzatziki, hummus and spreads, falafel and additional Mediterranean specialties.

WEH Offers TK17 CNG Fueling Nozzle The TK17 CNG fueling nozzle for cars is a world market leader, providing out- standing ease of operation. It has been winning customers from all over the globe for more than 10 years. In Germany, where the CNG market is well established, nearly all fueling sta- tions are equipped with this unique pistol grip nozzle. In the growing European and American CNG markets, the innovative fueling nozzle is being very well received. Maximum safety, reliability and operator convenience are all given top priority by WEH ® design engineers when developing new products. The WEH cul- ture of high quality then extends to the workmanship and exclusive use of high- grade materials. The natural result of this philosophy is a highly durable unit with minimal maintenance and downtime while providing optimal operator safety. Operation is single-handed and very simple. Just remove the fueling nozzle from the dispenser mounting and engage it to the receptacle. An integrated swivel joint facilitates handling and allows for the fueling nozzle to be turned to the best position for comfortable fueling. Retract the actuation lever for filling to begin. The gas will only flow through the fuel line if a safe and pressure-tight connec- tion is established. When filling is fin- ished, the fueling nozzle can be discon- nected once pressure venting of the sys- tem is complete. Thanks to extremely high flow rates, vehicle refueling is fast and efficient. The filling procedure can be safely and easily interrupted or terminated at any time. The nozzle is designed to prevent acci- dental use outside its predetermined pres- sure range.
