Boehringer Ingelheim has made this strategic move with the long-term goal to become a leader for contract development and manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins in China. Since 2014, Boehringer Ingelheim China Biopharmaceuticals has been operating its Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) clinical material supply at 100L and 500L scales. After its inauguration, the facility will operate for clinical and commercial supply on a 2000L single-use bioreactor scale. It is designed to flexibly add additional 2000L single-use bioreactors and fill/finish capabilities to meet increasing market demand.
“As a global leader in biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing, Boehringer Ingelheim has an extraordinarily long history in the field of biotechnology, having been in the industry for over 35 years,” said Dr Luo Jiali, General Manager of Boehringer Ingelheim Biopharmaceuticals (China) Co Ltd. “We offer tailor-made contract development and manufacturing services to the biopharmaceutical industry, providing the entire production technology chain from DNA to the finished product under one roof. With our strong know-how, global network, technology, and international quality standards we can support innovative Chinese and international companies to industrialize their research results.”
