Stallergenes opens allergen facility

21 September 2008

French biopharmaceutical firm Stallergenes has officially inaugurated its new pharmaceutical allergen production facility, claimed to be the largest in the world, in the Paris area. Designed to comply with the most stringent European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and US Food and Drug Administration standards, the plant will make desensitization treatments for all markets, primarily in Europe and North America.

The new unit involved an investment of some 20.0 million euros ($28.4 million) and will incorporate the manufacture of active substance for the firm's Oralair Grasses tablets and increase production capacity for Staloral allergen extracts to meet the needs of an expanding international marketplace. For Stallergenes, "this new production unit will help the company break into the tough US market and increase its production 10-fold," says chief executive Albert Saporta.
