Adragos Pharma Commissions New Liquid Filling Line at German Site
German contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) Adragos Pharma has completed a €4 million project to install and commission a new, cGMP-compliant liquid drug filling line and associated cartoning machine at its plant in Leipzig, Germany.
According to the company, the new capabilities will increase the site's production capacity by nearly tenfold. The new line has the capacity to fill up to 13 million bottles per year in various formats to supply pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and healthcare supplement products. The installation project initially involved relocating two existing semi-solid commercial manufacturing lines at the site to new production areas, which have now been inspected and are fully operational. These lines provide flexible capabilities for the manufacturing and packaging of ointments, creams, and gels.
Florian Prell, site head of Adragos Leipzig, said: “Adragos is committed to growing and investing in innovation, and we are looking forward to the opportunities and client partnerships that this project will create, as we continue to lead the industry in high-quality liquid dose form manufacturing.”
Adragos Pharma’s 13,300-square meter facility in Leipzig was established in 1926 and specializes in manufacturing semi-solid and non-sterile liquid pharmaceuticals. Employing over 130 professionals, its services and expertise include galenical dose form development, pilot batch production through to commercial supply, advanced analytical method development, as well as worldwide raw material procurement and product quality assurance.
