Facility Design and Engineering

The company is investing in expansion at four sites in the United States, United Kingdom, and Italy, which will include construction of new facilities and addition of sterile and lyophilized filling lines.

The company has received $500 million in funding from Sino Biopharmaceutical for further development, capacity expansion, and manufacturing of CoronaVac, its COVID-19 vaccine candidate.

The company will expand its micronization abilities for highly potent drug compounds through this investment.

The virtual showroom will provide real-time construction updates, various specs, and services that its new super plant, Plant 4, will offer upon completion.

Honeywell’s project team has remotely and efficiently migrated Richter Gedeon’s process control system with limited onsite staffing and resources.

Set to be operational by the first quarter of 2022, the 140,000-ft2 facility will feature up to six 2000-L, single-use bioreactor systems along with additional harvest and purification equipment to produce up to 100 commercial batches annually.

The expansion will include new suites for the development and clinical manufacturing of drug product intermediates and drug products and cGMP suites for early-phase cGMP manufacture.

The added space will house a portion of its PVC, polyurethane, silicone, and additional plastic tubing products, as well as its AdvantaPure products.

Originally announced in March 2020, the acquired facility will be Bora’s first North American manufacturing facility and will serve as its North American headquarters.

The expansion is part of a new expansion initiative aimed at increasing flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effective production.

The expansion will include a new 25,000-ft2 warehouse, a filling line for flexible plastic containers, a high-speed automated syringe fill line with the ability to fill up to 600 units per minute, and a high-speed automated visual inspection line.

The new super plant, being built in Incheon, South Korea, will have a total biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacity of 256,000 L.

The agreement follows a recent announcement that Sartorius plans to invest $100 million in Songdo, South Korea’s bio cluster.

The partners have established PathoQuest, Inc., a US subsidiary, and will construct an NGS-based testing lab at Charles River’s Wayne, PA, site.

The announcement comes after the company saw growth and performance in Asia and decided to continue the expansion of biopharmaceutical manufacturing in the region.

The 110,000 ft2 site, which is set to be operational by the second half of 2021, will feature new technology including 2000-L scale bioreactors and additional fill-finish capabilities.

The new facility, which is expected to be operational by mid-2026, will utilize cell-based technology to produce influenza vaccines for influenza pandemics and seasonal vaccination programs, both in Australia and globally.

The agreement will provide capacity for the manufacturing of AZD7442, currently being developed for the potential prevention and treatment of COVID-19, at Lonza's Portsmouth, NH site.

In the wake of its efforts to develop a COVID-19 vaccine candidate, the company has secured two additional properties in the Gaithersburg, MD area.

The company is investing $64.5 million to open new facilities in Germany and Japan to expand its overall capacity.

A virtual ribbon cutting, tour, and panel discussions were hosted on Oct. 29, 2020 to announce the opening of BioCentriq on the campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, NJ.

The facility will include a high-speed sterile line for live virus filling, a line for standard fill/finish, cleanroom capacity, labs, warehousing, and offices to support production.

The new facility at the company’s San Diego, CA, site will be for late phase and commercial CGMP manufacturing.

Virtual Touring allows companies to inspect and visit vendor and contract partner sites remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Automation, digitalization, and supply-chain strategies help mitigate vulnerabilities in both autologous and allogeneic cell therapy manufacturing.
