Consumer health products technologies solution provider Catalent has completed the biologics packaging expansion at its Bloomington facility in Indiana, US.
The company’s 875,000ft² facility in Bloomington specialises in sterile formulation and extensive bio-manufacturing and drug product fill/finish capacity in liquid and lyophilised vials, prefilled syringes, and cartridges.
The $14m expansion covers the addition of 15,000ft² packaging infrastructure to the biologics and sterile manufacturing site.
It also includes five new packaging suites and a new quality control laboratory.
The company’s strategic partnerships have led to the introduction of new technologies and integrated capabilities such as an Optima combination syringe assembly machine, an automated Mikron auto-injector assembly machine, and a Dividella NeoTOP x (NTX) top-load cartoner with both semi-automated and fully automated configurations.
All three high-speed lines offer quick and flexible packaging solutions to customers for vials, syringes, and devices with no glass-to-glass contact.
