AMRI Expands Sterile Production Capacity


AMRI, a global contract research, development and manufacturing organization, is expanding its sterile manufacturing capacity. The addition of an aseptic pre-filled syringe filling line at our manufacturing facility in Albuquerque, N.M., adds capacity to manufacture roughly 50 million syringes per year.

With the rise of biologics and the number of parenteral drugs under development and receiving approval poised to increase, pharmaceutical companies are looking for tailored drug delivery approaches for unit dose medication. Prefilled syringes offer many market and patient advantage opportunities such as API cost savings, reducing dosing errors and improved convenience and ease of use for patients saving them time and ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
