AqVida features hi-tech manufacturing at CPhI Frankfurt

Hamburg, Germany: – Innovative German oncology generics specialist AqVida will make its highly advanced new robotic filling site at Dassow the star of its show at Europe’s leading pharma trade show, CPhI Worldwide.

The Hamburg-based oncology manufacturer, which is dedicated to development, registration, manufacturing and licensing/distribution of oncology generics, will once again be an exhibitor at CPHI 2017 in Frankfurt, with its own stand (Booth 91A63) in the new FDF (Finished Dosage Formulations) zone at Messe Frankfurt.

AqVida will use the show to present the manufacturing and efficiency advantages that the Dassow plant will unlock for clients with its automotive, flexible) and lean production systems.

Cleanroom look

The striking ‘laboratory’ look of the AqVida stand at CPhI Frankfurt is largely due to use of cleanroom panels from Dubai-based MRC Cleanroom Systems, who will be a co-exhibitor on the stand. MRC cleanroom technology is an important element in the highly innovative new AqVida production facility near Hamburg.

Audio-visual displays will allow stand visitors to experience the new plant’s highly advanced automated, robotic filling and finishing capabilities, as well as its data-driven methodology.

The new “Zero Loss” facility features unique engineering technology to manufacture parenteral oncology generics and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). This facility represents a major step forward for the pharma industry, using totally robotic controlled filling processes in an isolator for parenteral cytotoxics.

Latest Development: Sunitinib

“All in all, AqVida comes to CPhI Worldwide 2017 with a stronger offer than ever to our EU and non EU clients: very high quality ‘Made in Germany’ generic oncology injectables, with spare and free EU Marketing approvals available, backed by full registration support. In addition, our new plant allows us to back all that up with a highly responsive and flexible supply capacity,” commented AqVida’s Commercial Director, Jürgen Lehmberg.

AqVida will also present the first of its New Generic Generation of oral generic oncology drugs. Sunitinib is a generic version of Sutent® that is expected to receive EU marketing approval shortly.

“This year, we will give Sunitinib capsules high priority, with EMA regulatory procedures running well and first MA approvals expected before the end of this year,” Mr. Lehmberg added.

Market connections

“CPHI Worldwide is the most important pharma event of the year for AqVida,” said Mr. Lehmberg.

“This is especially true for 2017, with the show returning to Germany, our home market, and once again being staged in Frankfurt, where we first exhibited on our own stand in 2013,” Mr. Lehmberg noted.

“CPhI gives us the ideal platform from which to meet clients, both existing and potential, and deepen our business relationships,” he noted.
