G-CON to supply prefabricated modular cGMP manufacturing suites for Just – Evotec Biologics’ first J.POD® facility in North America
REDMOND, WASH. AND COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (PRWEB)FEBRUARY 27, 2020
G-CON Manufacturing, the leader in prefabricated, flexible cleanroom solutions announced today that the company will support Just – Evotec Biologics, a wholly-owned Seattle-based company of Evotec SE, with their construction of a late-stage clinical and commercial manufacturing facility for biologics in Redmond, Washington. The news comes shortly after the announcement of the construction of Just – Evotec Biologics’ first J.POD® facility in North America, creating the “Facility of the Future” to provide flexible and modular, larger scale manufacturing of clinical and commercial-stage biologics.
Just – Evotec Biologics’ J.POD® technology features small intensified bioprocessing operations housed inside G-CON cleanroom PODs. G-CON will design and fabricate the PODs for cGMP manufacturing suites that require mobility and reconfigurability to meet current and future needs. The one-of-a-kind cGMP biomanufacturing facility includes six J.PODs® for upstream and downstream processing, totaling 8,825 sq. ft. of cleanroom space using the G-CON POD product. A key feature of the facility is its flexible platform design with the ability to scale out with additional PODs in the future without interrupting existing processes, resulting in zero operational scale-up risks.
The facility is part of Just – Evotec Biologics’ plan to provide flexible, high-quality manufacturing while de-risking drug discovery and development, not only for Just – Evotec Biologics, but also for Evotec’s partners.
“We treasure the partnership with Just – Evotec Biologics, a company supporting the shared vision of highly flexible and readily deployable manufacturing sites,” stated Maik Jornitz, CEO of G-CON.
