The 34-acre site now supports 200,000 square feet of GMP radiopharmaceutical production, with scalable capacity exceeding one million square feet
SpectronRx, a global radiopharmaceutical CDMO, CMO and isotope producer, today announced a major expansion of its Grissom Aeroplex commercial manufacturing campus near Bunker Hill, substantially increasing its capacity to deliver high-volume therapeutic and diagnostic doses to partners worldwide. With this expansion, SpectronRx now brings every stage of support together under one roof, spanning isotope production, drug development, scale-up and GMP manufacturing, creating one of the industry’s most integrated radiopharmaceutical ecosystems.
With the
acquisition of 14 additional acres and construction of a new
150,000-square-foot production facility, the Grissom Aeroplex campus now
spans 34 acres and supports approximately 200,000 square feet of
GMP-aligned manufacturing space. Company-wide, SpectronRx now
operates more than 400,000 square feet of radiopharmaceutical
production space across its network.
“Radiopharmaceutical
demand is rising faster than at any time in our industry’s history,”
said John Zehner, CEO of SpectronRx. “Our expansion at Grissom
Aeroplex ensures we can scale ahead of that demand. This campus was
designed to serve millions of patients, support the most advanced
radiopharmaceutical programs and give partners the confidence that capacity,
quality and compliance will always keep pace with their growth.”
Designed for
high-throughput production of radioligand therapy (RLT) and diagnostic doses,
the Grissom Aeroplex site currently can support more than 300,000
patient doses per year. The campus master plan provides long-term flexibility
to expand to over one million square feet of production space, positioning
SpectronRx to meet global clinical and commercial demand for decades to come.
SpectronRx
currently supplies radiopharmaceuticals and isotopes throughout the United
States and internationally, serving partners in South America,
Europe, Japan, Korea, India, China, Australia and other regions. The Grissom
Aeroplex campus strengthens this reach with an adjacent 24/7
general-aviation airport, access to major international cargo hubs and
proximity to over 60% of the U.S. population within a 12-hour drive.
Grissom
Aeroplex incorporates distributed manufacturing assets, redundant power
systems, isolated production suites and advanced radiation handling
technologies. All GMP operations comply with 21 CFR Part 211, 21 CFR
Part 212 and Annex 1, as well as individual non-USA requirements, as appropriate
to support global expectations for sterile and non-sterile radiopharmaceutical
manufacturing.
In addition
to drug-product manufacturing, the expansion enhances SpectronRx’s capabilities
in isotope production, high-capacity labeling and commercial
fill-finish, enabling seamless support from early development through
commercial distribution.
Beyond
Grissom Aeroplex, SpectronRx operates GMP-compliant facilities in:
Built for
scalability, redundancy, business continuity and uninterrupted global supply,
SpectronRx’s network supports a fully partner-focused model. Facilities are
designed with customer IP security in mind. Unlike organizations that treat
CDMO services as secondary to their own pipeline goals, SpectronRx directs its
expertise toward the development and manufacturing of diagnostic and
therapeutic products and isotopes that advance its partners’ programs. To
support this mission, the company offers advanced chemistry and regulatory
expertise that helps partners develop, scale and commercialize their
radiopharmaceutical agents.
“Our purpose
is to enable our partners’ success at commercial scale,” said Anwer Rizvi,
President of SpectronRx. “By dedicating our resources, facilities and expertise
to their programs, we accelerate development, ensure reliable supply and
deliver the manufacturing readiness required to serve patients worldwide.”
SpectronRx’s
focus on contract development, manufacturing and isotope production offers a
proven pathway from concept to clinic and from clinic to global commercial
launch.
