NPO Petrovax Pharm completes construction of a new manufacturing facility

In July, pharmaceutical company NPO Petrovax Pharm was issued a permit for commissioning the second manufacturing facility in Podolsk, Moscow Region.

The new facility operates two production lines for APIs, solid, soft, and liquid finished dosage forms. The investment in construction exceeded 1B RUB, of which 300M RUB were provided by the Industrial Development Fund as a beneficial loan. The 2,800-square-meter facility was built to the applicable international and Russian GMP requirements and fitted with state-of-the-art equipment providing for maximum process automation while maintaining a high product quality. The implementation of this project will make it possible to increase production of APIs (2,5x), tablets (7x), and suppositories (4x) as soon as in 2020. The new facility is scheduled to be commissioned through the end of 2019.

An extension of manufacturing capacity means additional opportunities for boosting supplies for the Russian market as well as for expanding international localization and manufacturing projects
