  • GMP cleaning solutions for critical CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilisation in place) applications
  • Expertise in processing hazardous substances in cleanrooms, including corrosive and flammable materials
  • In-house production of water for injection (WFI) and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), ensuring complete control over quality and compliance
