MUMBAI: City based Shasun Chemicals and Drugs is setting up a process development facility in Piscataway, US, the media reported. The facility will be scaled up to provide direct active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) development services in the pre-clinical and clinical trial stages to customers in North America and to extend back-end support to the contract research and manufacturing services (CRAMS) partners.
This development will further enhance and expand Shasun Chemical’s current capacity to provide global clients a seamless range of services from cutting R&D to large scale manufacture, and analytical development. The operation will help Shasun expand the offering to existing clients and attract new ones with a broad range of leading expertise and technologies, according to the company.
The first phase of the new facility will be operational from April 2008. It represents significant investment in terms of both long term financial commitment and the creation of 50 highly skilled jobs. Further growth is also planned and moving to full capacity from October 2009.
Shasun Pharma Solutions UK director (operations) Kevin Cook said: “The US facility will allow us to provide North American customers with a local service offering to complement our existing sites in Europe and India.”
Shasun Chemicals whole-time director Vimal Kumar said: “In terms of our increasing global presence, we feel that the strategic position in the North-West US will also create new opportunities in the rapidly expanding North American market and strengthen its existing global network with a project pipeline expanding across the west coast US and Europe.”
