ABEC Expands Single-Use Manufacturing Capability

The company has expanded its single-use manufacturing capabilities at its facility in Fermoy, Ireland.

On Feb. 13, 2018, ABEC, a provider of integrated solutions and services for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, announced the completion of its second International Standards Organization-compliant cleanroom for single-use disposable container (DC) manufacturing at its Fermoy, Ireland, facility.

The new Fermoy cleanroom will strengthen ABEC’s custom single run single-use product offerings and will be operational in April 2018, according to the company. The first cleanroom, located in Bethlehem, PA, has been fully operational since 2015.

“A flexible and reliable supply of high quality DC’s is critical to our customers’ single-use manufacturing operations,” said Scott Pickering, ABEC President and CEO, in a company press release. “ABEC’s new state-of-the art cleanroom in Fermoy greatly enhances our DC supply capability and further reduces our customers’ single-use supply chain risk.”
