A Drugs packaging company which opened in Eastbourne 50 years ago has changed its name in a bid to bolster its reputation.
APS/Berk, which was bought by global drugs giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries in 1996, has become Teva UK.
The Eastbourne site was built in 1954 for Berk Pharmaceuticals which in 1991, through the merger with APS, became known as APS/Berk.
Managing director John Beighton welcomed the name change as a positive step forward.
He said: "It means that we now formally share the heritage of our global parent company.
"We can concentrate on building an even brighter future with the backing, resources and expertise of a successful world leader behind us."
