Construction Starts On New Fermentation Facility At Porton Biopharma
In a “ground breaking ceremony” led by MP for Salisbury John Glen, Porton Biopharma Ltd (PBL) has initiated the construction of a new multi-million pound facility. The investment will see the creation of a pharmaceutical process facility that contains a new large state-of-the-art fermenter, process train and associated utilities.
The circa 2100m2 building and associated plant is designed to enable PBL to optimise capacity and more efficiently manufacture medicinal products in a modern environment that will continue to comply with all the latest pharmaceutical regulations. An added benefit is the facility will include a viewing gallery to enable visitors to see the hi-tech process without having to go through the rigorous gowning-up process that is required for everyone that enters clean-room pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
PBL is committed to developing and producing a range of life saving products and this is the second major investment in its capabilities, following on from the opening of a multi-million pound new freeze drying facility earlier in the year by the Minister for Life Sciences, George Freeman MP.
“To see the start of the construction stage for this new fermentation facility represents an exciting moment of progress for all of us who are dedicated to growing PBL, since it will enable us to produce more of our products that truly make a difference to patients’ lives said Dr Roger Hinton Managing Director of PBL
MP for Salisbury commented, “I am delighted to be here at the initiation of this new phase of construction for PBL, which is going from strength to strength by investing in its facilities in order to cement its position as a leading local life-science company securing important high-value jobs for the area”.
The construction phase follows on from work to prepare the site by the demolition of some older facilities and will also include construction of a new workshop and water plant room to support the main fermentation facility. That will then be followed by a phased programme of equipment installation and pharmaceutical In a “ground breaking ceremony” led by MP for Salisbury John Glen, Porton Biopharma Ltd (PBL) has initiated the construction of a new multi-million pound facility.
