CordenPharma to Invest Millions Into New Manufacturing Line for Veterinary Drug Products

CordenPharma Plankstadt recently announced the design and installment of a new manufacturing line dedicated to producing Veterinary Drug Products for 500-kg scale batch sizes to supply a complex innovative product for application in the veterinary health market. This new line is part of a production plant that is dedicated to Veterinary Drug Products.

The expansion of the production capabilities at CordenPharma Plankstadt are the result of a new, long-term custom manufacturing agreement for an animal health application, which the company recently signed. Work will commence in the second quarter of 2017, with a targeted mechanical completion by the 2nd quarter of 2018 and commercial supply for the global launch campaign planned to start in the second half of 2018. CordenPharma Plankstadt has supported the customer over the past year and a half, from initial technology transfer and development activities to the timely manufacturing of registration batches.

“This is an extremely important and significant investment for CordenPharma Plankstadt. This new production line will allow the fully contained handling of highly potent APIs in a dedicated facility for the manufacturing of Veterinary Drug Products. This is a unique opportunity in the industry,” said Frank Hähner, Managing Director of CordenPharma Plankstadt.

“CordenPharma’s goal is to be the leading CDMO for the development and manufacturing of Highly Potent & Oncology solid dosage forms, both now and in the future. This investment greatly contributes to that strategy, while further expanding and strengthening our capabilities and service offerings,” added Michael Quirmbach, Vice President of Global Marketing & Sales, CordenPharma International.

The investment in CordenPharma Plankstadt is the latest of several announced investments made by CordenPharma during 2017, where further capacity expansion and capabilities were installed in CordenPharma Colorado and CordenPharma Plankstadt to meet growing customer demand.
