Why This Plant?
Plant Types: Pharmaceutical
Subtypes: API
UNUSED state-of-the-art highly flexible small molecule manufacturing facility constructed in 2011The facility is capable of producing around 400kg of API per year, allowing for the production of batches from lead to candidate through to Phase III and commercial launch quantities. This is the potential capacity, in a configuration of people working in 2x7h on 5 days, but this tool could be operated on a 24x7 basis if needed, in which case higher levels of output could be achieved. Production capacity remains dependent on the type and number of synthesis steps.
PILOT PLANT
Plant Types: Chemical and Specialty Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Fertilizer and Agrochemical
Subtypes: API
Capacity: ~1,200m3 Total Reactor Capacity
190 Acre API Manufacturing Plant Complex Grimsby, England, UK
This world-class, fully integrated API manufacturing site, formerly operated by Novartis, includes over 1,200m3 of total reactor vessel capacity across three distinct production buildings, available for sale or lease as a whole site or individual buildings for operation in-place. The facility could be utilized for pharmaceutical and animal health API manufacturing or repurposed for specialty/fine chemical manufacturing, flavors and fragrances, or agrochemicals.
