Our Darbytown complex was constructed in 1980 as a liquid manufacturing/packaging and dry products plant. In 1990, ChapStick manufacturing/packaging was added, followed by Denorex and Preparation H suppositories in 1995. The Richmond production capabilities include the manufacture and packaging of capsules, tablets, gels, creams, suppositories, tube products, and suspensions. In addition, Richmond is noted for the manufacturing and packaging of high-volume liquids. To support other product additions since 1990, numerous renovations have been made. These additions include renovations to the bulk manufacturing areas in 1997, a QA Annex in 2001, and a locker room and cafeteria in 2002.
This facility now consists of an administrative/lab/non-production area, a liquid-focused factory/pharmacy, a solids-focused factory, a topical-focused factory, and warehousing space.
Wyeth Pharmaceuticals is a leading pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in the Richmond tri-city and Tidewater area. Our highly efficient team manufactures such renowned products as Robitussin®, Dimetapp®, Children's Advil® and ChapStick®.
Each member of the Richmond organization is vital to the continuation of our organization's success. Our future achievements will rely on the balanced efforts of more than 1,400 employees.
