“Through our continuous improvement initiatives at Pace Life Sciences, our team recognized an opportunity to enhance and expand our capabilities in response to our past success in partnering with clients on small molecule fill finish programs and the increasing demand for fill finish manufacturing generated by growth in biologics and other large molecule products,” stated Dawn Von Rohr, President of Pace Life Sciences. “The remodel of our state-of-the-art facility in Salem, NH, ensures that we can scale alongside our clients as their programs evolve and regulatory expectations advance. We look forward to welcoming visitors to showcase our advanced capabilities and enhancements.” 

The expansion of the Salem, NH facility includes the addition of an isolated vial filling line, designed to facilitate smaller batch sizes with high sterility assurance and EU Annex 1 compliance. This fill line, along with other facility enhancements, allows Pace to serve clients requiring cGMP manufacturing in the injectable space for vaccines, gene therapies, antibodies, and protein-based therapeutics.
