Piramal Pharma Solutions officially inaugurated a new active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) plant at the company’s site in Aurora, Ontario.
The new plant, built as part of a CAD $30 million capital investment in the Aurora site, features more than 10000 square feet of new manufacturing space and includes two new reactor suites with additional filtration and drying capabilities. It will support ongoing customer demand for Piramal Pharma Solutions’ expertise in APIs and enhances and expands the company’s ability to produce clinical to commercial scale APIs, including highly potent APIs requiring an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of 1mcg/m3.
Peter DeYoung, CEO, Piramal Pharma Solutions said, “This new plant is just the latest in a series of expansions and capability upgrades at Aurora, with more to follow. I thank the local government for their support. In partnership with them, the team at Aurora has done commendable work in getting this facility engineered and online. It’s evidence of our commitment to the global API market and the long-term growth of PPS as an organisation. Our ultimate objective is to help customers get medicines to patients, and Aurora is an important part of that process. What’s been accomplished to date in Aurora is indeed a source of pride for all of us, and we look forward to what’s yet to come.”
