PharmaZell Continues Expansion of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Capacity in India
Vizag, India, September 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- PharmaZell GmbH, a European Contract Manufacturing Organization for active pharmaceutical ingredients and advanced intermediates, has once again expanded its manufacturing capabilities in India. In 2010, PharmaZell completed construction of a cGMP Kilo-lab at its R&D center in Vizag, India. This follows two other recent expansions in India. In 2007, PharmaZell built a commercial production plant in Vizag, India to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient, Mesalamine. In 2008, PharmaZell continued expanding in Vizag by building a state of the art R&D facility. This facility employs approximately 35 chemists who focus on chemical route and process development, analytical R&D and small scale synthesis.
In 2007, PharmaZell expanded its European base by acquiring a fully integrated development and commercial production site from Sandoz in Copenhagen, Denmark. The site in Denmark has a particular focus on controlled substances. Its scientists there have expertise in lab development, pilot plant and commercial manufacturing under cGMP. “In the past three years PharmaZell has had three expansions in India while growing by acquisition in Europe. We have continued to grow our manufacturing capacity and expand our services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We believe that our strong revenue growth and diverse customer base is positioning our company as a significant API manufacturer and service provider,” said Wolfgang Burger, Ph.D., Managing Partner of PharmaZell.
