Pharma Horizon

Grifols, a Barcelona, Spain-headquartered healthcare company specializing in plasma-derived proteins and contract manufacturer of sterile solutions, recently has made investments in sterile manufacturing technology with the installation of a fourth form/fill/ seal (FFS) line in its manufacturing site in Murcia, Spain. The addition of the new FFS line will increase the company’s flexible bag manufacturing capacity by 3

The new line will be operational in 2017 once validations have been completed and approved by Spanish health authorities. This line is  part of the company’s plan to expand sales of parenteral solutions in new markets. The Murcia facility has also been fitted with a new high-capacity autoclave and a new conditioning line to handle the increased production.

Another production line is scheduled to be completed in the company’s Parets del Vallés facility in Barcelona, in the first half of 2018.
