Fresenius Kabi Product Partnering is the contract manufacturing platform of Fresenius Kabi, and provides easy access to company-wide resources on sterile fluids development and manufacture. The company has more than 20 manufacturing facilities worldwide and enjoys partnerships developing and manufacturing sterile fluids with top-tier pharmaceutical multinationals as well as start-ups and biotech companies.

Fresenius Kabi Product Partnering understands client and product-specific processes and procedures in contract manufacture, contract development, contract filling and contract packaging.

Contract manufacturing and development – sterile fluid solutions

Fresenius Kabi Product Partnering’s manufacturing capabilities span the fill / finish of small and large volume sterile fluid solutions and emulsions. These are processed aseptically or terminally sterilized. Production infrastructure supports manufacturing at pilot scale through to full-size commercial scale for world markets. Fresenius Kabi Product Partnering’s expertise covers the handling of potent active pharmaceutical ingredients, biologics and recombinant proteins.

Increasingly, the characteristics of the primary container are a critical issue in launching sterile fluid products successfully. Container characteristics are also important in establishing and maintaining market share throughout the life cycle of the product. Fresenius Kabi Product Partnering has the flexibility to incorporate clients’ specific demands on container configuration, and has the expertise to advise on the possibilities of delivery systems. The standard range of primary containers includes:

  • Ampoules (glass or plastic): 1ml – 20ml
  • Vials (glass or plastic): 1ml – 100ml
  • Bottles (glass or plastic): 50ml – 1,000ml
  • IV-bags (PVC or non-PVC): 40ml – 5,000ml
  • Multi-chamber bags (non-PVC): 100ml – 5,000ml
  • Speciality devices (various materials) 1ml – 200l
  • Pre-filled syringes (glass and plastic) 0,1-50ml

In addition to processing the standard range of containers, the company support clients in developing and processing containers with customized specifications and in a product/client specific configuration.

Manufacturing quality and compliance

Quality standards and procedures are laid down in the Fresenius Kabi Product Partnering corporate guidelines, and are operated in compliance with cGMP and GcLP. These standards ensure sterile pharmaceutical fluids are developed and manufactured safely and efficiently.

Regulatory licenses for pharmaceutical products and medical devices, in addition to national approvals, cover FDA, PIC and TÜV notified bodies.
