How can a scalable, flexible biopharma facility be designed with the right plant layout, cleanroom configuration, and manufacturing technologies?
Biopharmaceutical manufacturers are making significant capital investments in greenfield facilities, facility expansion, and modernization projects. Decisions on plant capacity, clean room design, automation, and future-ready technologies can affect operations over time. From facility concept design and URS development through implementation, manufacturing operations must be engineered for flexibility and scalability to support future products, processes, and capacity demands.
We combine the bioprocessing expertise, manufacturing technologies, and global infrastructure needed to facilitate plant construction. From process and facility design through equipment selection, implementation, and qualification, our teams support pharmaceutical manufacturers and accelerate all phases of their investment projects. These services include:
- Full support from our process development scientists, bioprocessing engineers, investment project teams, and system engineers
- M Lab™ Collaboration Centers where customers can test, assess, and work directly with bioprocess equipment while receiving MSAT specialist support on technology selection, process scale-up, tech transfer, and implementation
- A scalable, connected downstream suite of single-use systems and consumables, and equipment installation & qualification services - backed by data analytics, automation, and control software
- Global supply network of regionalized and redundant facilities to enhance supply resilience
Successful investment projects, large and small, require multidisciplinary expertise across process development, engineering, manufacturing, and project execution. Our technical resources help organizations evaluate options, address technical challenges, and make informed decisions.
