Vetter Development Service Chicago Completes Recent On-Site Expansion Activities
Vetter has announced today that a number of activities undertaken at its Skokie facility to satisfy existing and ever-increasing future customer demands have been completed. The initiatives include an additional staff shift for daily clinical manufacturing operations, as well as the doubling of capacities for performing visual inspection and In-Process Control (IPC). The facility also expanded its on-site offerings by giving customers the option to obtain secondary packaging services for small batches of frozen drug products such as vial labeling, cartoning, and carton labeling. Furthermore, the long-term collaboration with Sentry BioPharma Services, a provider of cGMP clinical packaging solutions and supply chain management, supports a streamlined path from filling to clinic.
“We are extremely pleased with our past years performance at the Skokie facility, as well as our overall success to date,” said Vetter Managing Director Peter Soelkner. The site, located at the Illinois Science + Technology Park in suburban Chicago has successfully passed audits and qualifications by as many as 30 companies, including 9 of the top 20 leading (bio-)pharmaceutical companies. This performance has resulted in a wide-ranging customer base that includes not only those in the US, but also European companies based for example in the UK and Denmark, as well as Asian headquartered companies such as in South Korea.
