Based on a long tradition of API manufacture, Archimica’s approach to quality control is based on developing best-in-practice procedures at a single facility and then replicating those practices at each of its facilities around the world.

The project has resulted in the very latest facility design, equipment and systems for this phase of commercial-scale manufacturing. This investment provides facilities that are best-in-class for quality in an FDA regulated environment today, and positions Origgio to maintain that best-in-class status for the next 10 years. The primary focus of this investment is to support new API launches.
