During 2020, SGD Pharma continued its daily operations and even improved performance in all plants, strengthened clients’ trust and gained market shares, accelerated R&D capabilities, and recruited and improved training efforts. Our plants in Asia and Europe are all subject to the highest level of safety measures to ensure the health and safety of employees while continuing manufacturing operations.
Our Type I molded glass vials are resistant and chemically inert (thanks to their high hydrolytic resistance), making them a relevant solution to complete the Type I tubular glass vials offering and respond to this unprecedented surge in demand. They are ideal both to store and transport vaccines globally.
To help prepare this vaccine for worldwide distribution, SGD Pharma is offering access to our entire manufacturing output from our state-of-the-art ISO 15378 certified plant in Normandy, France, where our daily capacity stands at 400 to 500Ku of internationally recognized Type I neutral molded glass vials, available in many sizes including 10ml, 20ml, 30ml and 50ml.
Our SQLM site in Normandy, France, has a new operations facility opened in 2013 and the Vemula state-of- the-art plant in India was completed in February 2018, with new furnaces, each with ISO 8 cleanrooms (1700m 2 and 2400 m 2 ) Together these plants offer 31,800m 2 and 11,000m 2 , yielding a production capacity of 1.5 million vials and ampoules daily from SQLM and 1 million vials a day from Vemula. This, together with our ex-stock capacity, allows us to meet the vaccine demand while still servicing our other customers.
