Excella GmbH has met the SafeBridge Certification criteria for Potent Compound Safety and has been deemed competent and proficient in the safe handling of potent APIs at its chemical plant located in Feucht, Germany. Excella previously achieved this SafeBridge certification at its oral solid dosage (OSD) form facility, making it the first company worldwide to achieve SafeBridge Certification in both OSD product and API synthesis.

SafeBridge conducted a 60-element review of programs, procedures, containment and control over the production of APIs at the company’s site. The results certify that Excella meets current industry standards for the safe handling of potent APIs in the identified areas.

Since the program began in 1999, 11 organizations have achieved the Potent Compound Safety Certification. The Excella API facility joins nine other facilities actively involved in the SafeBridge Potent Compound Safety Certified program.
