API and pharmaceutical CGMP manufacturing plant.

Stock No: 200278

Working Volume: 75000 litres

Working Volume: 0 Units/min

Working Volume: 0 Units/min

The Peboc-Eastman site was built to produce Vitamin D3 using proprietary technology and then significant investments were made to modernise the site and to provide capabilities for a broad range of CGMP processes using complex, multi stage organic synthesis. Peboc is currently an FDA-inspected CGMP manufacturing facility.

The buyer will find an up to date flexible and stand alone facility able to adapt production volume to several other chemical outputs.
