BOWLING GREEN, O.—Could the pharmaceutical industry be the magic potion Ohio is seeking to rev up its economy?
The 14th annual Canada-Ohio Business Dinner at Bowling Green State University on Nov. 9 will examine issues and trends in the North American pharmaceutical industry with featured guest speaker Clive V. Bennett, president of Patheon U.S.A.
The program will be held from 4:45-8 p.m. in 228 Bowen-Thompson Student Union.
Patheon, with a client base that includes Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and Navartis, provides drug development and manufacturing services to the international pharmaceutical industry. The Canadian-based company recently acquired a manufacturing facility near Cincinnati and now employs about 570 Ohioans.
Prospects for the industry are good, and Ohio hopes to position itself to play a leading role, according to Dr. Mark Kasoff, director of Bowling Green’s Canadian Studies Center. Global pharmaceutical sales, he points out, reached $518 billion in 2004, growing by an average annual rate of 9.6 percent for the past eight years.
“While not a miracle cure for Ohio manufacturing, the pharmaceutical industry is part of an overall prescription for good economic health,” Kasoff says.
Bennett, a 30-year veteran in the industry, was with Aventis before joining Patheon. As senior vice president of operations and head of global drug-product supply from 1995-99, he was responsible for 12,500 employees in a network of 77 manufacturing sites.
The evening will begin with a social hour from 4:45-5:45 p.m., followed by welcoming remarks and dinner at 6:15 p.m. Bennett will speak at 7 p.m.
Sponsored by the Canadian Studies Center, the dinner is supported by Alcan Inc., the BGSU Center for Executive Studies in Business and the Canadian Consulate in Detroit.
The Canada-Ohio Business Dinner provides Ohio executives and managers of Canadian branch operations an opportunity each year to meet and discuss areas of mutual interest.
Reservations for this year’s dinner are $20 per person. Individuals may register online at www.cba.bgsu.edu/cast/canada-ohio_dinner.html. For more information, call Bowling Green’s Canadian Studies Center at 419-372-2457.
