Enzene’s two facilities in Pune, India have received European Union (EU) GMP certification to provide commercial-scale microbial and mammalian drug substance supply and drug product fill/finish and packaging.

“The European Union’s GMP certification provides existing and potential customers with tangible evidence that Enzene meets the stringent quality and safety standards required by the European Medicines Agency, and marks another step on Enzene’s journey to providing comprehensive solutions to clients in Europe and beyond,” commented an Enzene spokesperson.

Enzene’s facilities provide fully integrated services to address the market for challenging diseases and innovative treatments. Pune was the first site in the company’s network to feature Enzene’s modular EnzeneX 2.0 platform, which reduces the equipment footprint compared with that of conventional fed-batch systems. It is capable of clinical phase cGMP supply from as low as 30-liter scale, with variable bioreactor capacity to accommodate scale-on and scale-out expansion.

Furthermore, Enzene plans to launch a new $50-million manufacturing facility in Hopewell, New Jersey soon, introducing the company’s patented fully-connected continuous manufacturing (FCCM) platform to the U.S.
