By: Rachel Klemovitch Vetter, a globally operating CDMO, announced it will be expanding its pharmaceutical materials warehouse in Ravensburg to meet increasing market demand and support the company’s organic growth.  With a further investment of over €150 million, this expansion will add 16,000 pallet spaces to the existing 13,000 pallet spaces for cool storage. After the expansion, Vetter will have a total of 68,000 pallet spaces for various temperature requirements. “Since the opening of our Center for Visual Inspection and Logistics in 2012, we have been on a continuous journey to enhance our storage capabilities for both room temperature and cold storage,” says Carsten Press, Vetter Managing Director. “The latest phase of construction marks a strategic step in our warehouse development, driven by the increasing need for cool chain due to the many temperature-sensitive medications.” The newly expanded building will focus primarily on cold storage, as well as chest and walk-in freezer capacity, specifically designed for high-profile pharmaceutical products and associated materials. In addition to the high-bay warehouse expansion, the new 22,500 square meter building will house sample storage for stability testing, additional manual and automated visual inspection rooms, a new staff canteen, dedicated areas for offices, and a data center. The warehouse expansion started in late 2024, with additional storage space expected to be operational in 2028. The first milestone is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 when the shell of the building will be completed.  Copyright © 2024 Rodman Media. All rights reserved.

It’s also been announced that one of the monsters will be a Beholder (as seen on the recently unveiled box art) although it’s not clear what other iconic D&D monsters will be included In an interview with Polygon a game development manager at Ravensburger noted that: “It is an honor to merge the historical and awesome worlds and themes of Dungeons & Dragons with the immersive cooperative play that we crafted with Horrified We believe we have created a board game that will please both dedicated fan bases.” The game is slated for release in the summer of 2025. Notably, it was first announced at the London Toy Fair in January 2025 It’s possible the release date may change due to manufacturing and scheduling but it will likely be available for order both online and in local game stores around this time (with an exact date to be confirmed in the next few months) which is actually a fair bit cheaper than other Horrified titles which have a price point of around $45 USD It’s not clear if this is because the game has fewer features or if it’s simply a revised price point designed to capture interest from new players The Horrified game series has a solid reputation – including a ton of positive reviews on Board Game Geek – and the addition of Dungeons & Dragons sounds like it’s being treated as more than just a reskin monsters and thematic elements that capture the essence of what makes D&D so fun It remains to be seen what the final product is like We’ll be keeping a close eye on the Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons game in the days ahead and will update this page with more information as it becomes available Visit our D&D Accessories page for more reviews and news Home About Us Books Toys News Accessories dungeonsanddragonsfanatic@gmail.com Privacy Policy Affiliate Disclosure This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.
