Patheon began construction of a new pharmaceutical development center at its existing manufacturing facility in Bourgoin-Jallieu, France. This addition will enable the Bourgoin site to offer a full range of solid dose services as part of its Pharmaceutical Development Services (PDS) business.
"We currently provide our customers with solid dose Phase III and commercial supply from our facilities in North America. With this expansion we will offer the same services in Europe by the end of 2010," said Wes Wheeler, Patheon's chief executive officer and president. "The investment reinforces our commitment to provide our customers with a full range of product development services, from pre-clinical through late phase stages, on to commercialization."
The facility is designed for the supply of late-phase clinical trial tablet and capsule products, capable of handling batch sizes up to 120 kg. It will consist of a new pilot plant and equipment designed to contain high potency products. Process trains will be scalable to commercial lines, offering the ability to produce Phase III and commercial product in the same location.
