Woodstock Sterile Solutions, a leading blow-fill-seal (BFS) contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), is making an investment to double the size of its analytical lab space and enhance analytical capabilities at its facility in Woodstock, IL.

Within the expanded quality control lab, Woodstock Sterile Solutions is making room to accommodate additional testing equipment and the experts that are needed to perform the method development work, and ongoing product release and stability testing.

“Expanding our lab space is a logical step as we look to continue to grow our business,” said Paul Josephs, CEO, Woodstock Sterile Solutions. “With the expanded testing space, we are completely self-reliant, and can now manage the whole production process in-house, from product development to final testing, without having to rely on the schedules and timing of third-party vendors. This expansion allows WSS to provide a seamless development-through-commercial production to simplify the engagement of our customers and to complete activities more efficiently.”

Woodstock Sterile Solutions has been a leader in developing and deploying advanced aseptic BFS delivery products for healthcare for more than 50 years. The company is a global provider of best-in-class sterile development and manufacturing solutions across a broad—and growing—range of products. This expansion, targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2023, is expected to help the company build its footprint in the market.

Todd Larson, senior director of engineering and facilities, Woodstock Sterile Solutions, said, “Becoming our own company, it was important to build on our internal capabilities. The decision to expand was customer-focused, and it puts us in a unique position within the market.”
