LSNE Contract Manufacturing, a contract development and manufacturing organization, broke ground on a 26,000 square foot addition of its existing facility on the Bedford, NH campus. This expansion further increases LSNE’s commercial drug product manufacturing capacity and is part of the company’s overall growth and customer service strategy. The addition will feature a high-speed six head Bausch+Ströbel aseptic vial filling line, Ziel isolator, and multiple large-scale commercial freeze-dryers with automated loading/unloading.

“With the backing of the Permira Funds, LSNE continues to invest in increasing our capabilities and capacity with new state-of-the-art facilities and equipment,” said Damon Abernathy, vice president of Operations at LSNE. The new facilities will help LSNE meet customer demand and industry advancements in aseptic processing.  CGMP production at 7 Commerce will begin in the second half of 2021 creating growth opportunities for current employees and bringing new jobs to the state of New Hampshire.
