Aesica opens new UK pilot plant

2 September 2007

UK-based Aesica, a supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients, has opened a new pilot plant at Cramlington in Northumberland. The unit, which is the fifth owned by the firm, will operate under current Good Manufacturing Practice conditions.

Aesica said that the new facility will allow it to manufacture and supply small-scale quantities of pharmaceutical compounds (10kg to 100kg) to its customers for clinical development work. The firm also said that the important process information and experience gathered from pilot runs conducted at the plant would be of considerable benefit in developing commercial manufacturing processes.
