Americhem expands Pa. compounding plant
Materials firm Americhem Inc. has completed an expansion of its compounding plant in Morrisville, Pa.
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio-based Americhem posted a video on YouTube of a virtual ribbon-cutting event at the site on April 7. The 60,000-square-foot expansion includes a 20,000-square-foot clean compounding room for medical materials.
A new design center at the site includes pilot scale production to assist customers with new product design and small lot qualification. The plant is part of the company's Americhem Engineered Compounds (AEC) unit.
The clean compounding room at the site will house six new compounding lines. The new clean environment and AEC Customer Design Center, along with Americhem's ISO 13485 Certification, gives AEC "unique capabilities to produce compounds that meet the most stringent medical device requirements," officials said in a news release.
