CPC Biotech makes major new microbiology plant investment
Monza Brianza, Italy: CPC Biotech, the specialist supplier of enzymes to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, has announced a major new investment program to restructure its production and research facilities.
The construction, due for completion during the latter half of 2023, will allow CPC Biotech to move its microbiology ready-to-use media production from current rented premises at Casorezzo in Milan and expand this capability, with state-of-the-art clean rooms.
Four production suites
The €10m program will see construction of a totally new 5,000m2 production plant at Vedano al Lambro, in Monza, northeast of Milan, that will house four production areas, as well as R&D and quality control laboratories and offices.
The new facility is close to CPC’s headquarters site at Burago di Molgora at Monza Brianza, that will remain the center for its production of enzymes.
Tripled capacity
Following completion, CPC should see a threefold increase in production capacity, with the new production suites respectively dedicated to production of bottled media in bottles, single bagged and triple bagged irradiated microbiological plates, third party plates, with a ‘spare’ cleanroom facility to accommodate future expansion and new projects.
The new plant should also increase CPC’s ability to adopt advanced automation in manufacturing, further boosting productivity, as well as providing higher quality research and administrative areas.
As with the Burago di Molgora enzyme facility and headquarters site, the new Vedano al Lambro site will be fully certified to ISO9001 quality standards.
