Johor plant is Colorcon's 7th major film coating plant and 16th manufacturing facility worldwide
HARLEYSVILLE, Pa. and JOHOR, Malaysia, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Colorcon, a global leader of film coating systems, specialty excipients, controlled release formulations and controlled atmosphere packaging for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, today announced the grand opening of a new, state-of-the-art film coating manufacturing facility in Johor Malaysia.
The 200,000 square-foot facility will immediately employ 30 people and will serve as the production hub for film coatings in the Asia Pacific region. Designed with cutting-edge technology and energy-efficient systems, the new plant reinforces Colorcon's dedication to industry innovation, superior quality, regulatory leadership and environmental stewardship.
Simon Tasker, CEO of Colorcon, said of the project: "We are thrilled to open this world-class facility to support our pharmaceutical customers throughout Asia. This investment is aligned with our long-term vision to strengthen and de-risk our supply model for film coatings worldwide. Our goal is to anticipate market growth, adding capacity to ensure we are always a step ahead of demand. This is just one of many development projects currently in our pipeline to support our credo of 'we're everywhere our customers need us to be."
Willem Hoogwater, Managing Director at Colorcon, added: "This is a monumental achievement for the local team, and I commend everyone who has played a part in bringing this facility to completion. We're proud to offer superior film coating technology and a world-class facility to this rapidly growing region. Malaysia has quickly become an important hub for high-value pharmaceutical manufacturing, and we're proud to support the local economy with an investment like this. We look forward to serving our regional customers even more efficiently for many years to come as a result."
Since 1961, Colorcon has been a leader in film coating technology and this is their 7th manufacturing plant worldwide. The launch of Opadry in 1980 marked a turning point for the pharmaceutical industry—introducing the world's first complete film coating system and revolutionizing tablet coating by simplifying processes, improving batch uniformity and minimizing error. Since then, Opadry has evolved into a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance film coatings that address a wide range of formulation and manufacturing challenges—from taste-masking and moisture protection to improved swallowability and regulatory compliance.

Colorcon Celebrates Grand Opening of New Manufacturing Facility in Malaysia
SINGAPORE, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coda, a global leader in digital content monetization, today announced that it is integrating Unity's In‑App Purchasing (IAP) SDK with Coda's global web store platforms. This collaboration offers developers a single place to manage and optimize their entire digital catalog across mobile, web, and PC - directly through Unity's existing IAP workflow.
With just a few lines of code, developers can launch secure, branded web stores powered by Coda - offering players more ways to purchase securely while improving their margins.
The integration is powered by Coda's Merchant of Record (MoR) solution, which is already trusted by leading publishers and fast-growing studios worldwide. As the legal seller in each market, Coda manages payments, fraud prevention, tax remittance, invoicing, and compliance across more than 70 markets and over 400 payment methods. This gives developers more time to focus on the game and the player experience.
"As the games industry moves beyond closed ecosystems, developers of every size want more flexibility and control over how they grow," said Shane Happach, CEO of Coda. "Our integration with Unity's IAP SDK gives creators more choice in how they launch and operate their own stores, wherever their players are, minus the complexity of managing global payments or compliance. This reflects Coda's commitment to democratizing game development and helping every studio, large or small, succeed on their own terms."
As web-based purchasing becomes a more practical part of developers' business mix, interest in direct-to-consumer web stores continues to grow. Today, these channels already account for roughly 26% of mobile gaming revenue in East and Southeast Asia, according to research from Niko Partners and Coda.
First-party web stores give developers greater control over pricing, promotions, and player communication, but introduce operational complexity across payments, compliance, fraud, and support. Coda removes these barriers with a scalable payments and risk platform, integrated directly into Unity's workflow.
Coda's integration with Unity's IAP sets a new D2C standard by bringing out-of-app monetization into developers' existing workflows, removing operational complexity, and making it easier to run web stores at a global scale.
