GRAM Adds Syringe Filling Capabilities

Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing, Inc. (GRAM) announced on March 6, 2018 the addition of syringe filling capabilities at its FDA-inspected, cGMP-compliant manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, MI. A Colanar FSV syringe filler, which can also handle cartridges, will use the existing single-use systems for small-molecule APIs and biologics projects. The equipment will be qualified and operational by the second quarter of 2018.

The capital investments were made following the announcement of a partnership deal with Arlington Capital Partners, a private equity firm. “With the support of Arlington, GRAM intends to invest heavily in building out our capabilities in the next couple of years with state-of-the-art equipment and a new facility. The new syringe filler is the first of many exciting announcements we will be making this year,” said Tom Ross, president and CEO of GRAM, in a press release.
