Saluggia, Italy: – Reference Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) Gipharma Srl has gained full Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) authorization for its new sterile injectables production line.

The cGMP certification includes authorization for investigational medicinal products (IMPs) and commercial supply to all EU markets.

The new sterile suite, now fully operational, doubles the production capacity of this young but rapidly growing company that offers a wide range of CMO services.

“We are delighted to have gained this seal of approval,” said Giovanni Ala, Gipharma’s founder and managing director. “It emphasizes our profile as a small company with a big reputation, capable of meeting the strictest standards for regulatory compliance and flexible, reliable and accurate manufacture.”

Mr. Ala said the renewed GMP authorization and expansion of injectable formulations production capacity would enhance the company’s production flexibility and was a vital stepping-stone to offer a state-of-the-art facility to new customers.

“This is a further consolidation of our mission to operate as a reference CMO with expertise and capacity that extends from early clinical stage to commercial scale production.
