Boehringer Ingelheim has added a new filling line to its Oasis facility in Shanghai, China in order to expand and consolidate its contract drug manufacturing capabilities.

The expansion means the company’s contract manufacturing business Boehringer Ingelheim BioXcellence now has an isolator-based fill & finish line to carry out aseptic filling of liquids in vials.

Meaning BioXcellence can offer all manufacturing activities for drug substance and drug product as well as associated quality control and assurance at its Shanghai manufacturing site.

Boehringer Ingelheim Biopharmaceuticals China general manager Luo Jiali said: “I believe that our customers will benefit from this investment by receiving high quality drug substance and drug product from one source as a convenient pathway to deliver biopharmaceuticals to our customers and, in the end, to patients.”

“Our customers will benefit from this investment by receiving high quality drug substance and drug product from one source.”
