BEDMINSTER, N.J. , Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: MNK), a leading global specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today its new Specialty Brands office site in Bedminster, N.J. earned recognition as a 2017 Somerset County Planning Board Land Development Award honoree in the Commercial category. Awards were presented Tuesday evening at the County Administration Building in Somerville .
Mallinckrodt officially opened its Specialty Brands office in October 2017 at 1405-1425 U.S. Route 206 . The office is home to a workforce of nearly 500 that supports marketed and development products in the company's hospital and autoimmune and rare diseases businesses.
"We are pleased to be honored alongside a wide range of development projects in our community, recognized for high levels of design and creativity," said Mark Trudeau, Mallinckrodt President and Chief Executive Officer. " Bedminster has been an excellent setting for our company, and significant design and planning efforts have resulted in the build-out of a collaborative, dynamic work space for our New Jersey -based employees and a site that will meet the needs of our fast-transforming business."
