Titolo
Corpo
Our site in the Singen industrial park covers all the functions involved in the manufacturing and packaging of sterile pharmaceutical products as well as the necessary logistics for raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods. The facilities are constantly being expanded and technically upgraded.
What begins with the manufacturing boiler ends after a long and complex production chain in the distribution centre. Our pharmaceutical products are shipped all over the world as pre-packaged medicinal products.
Other sites at which finished medical goods are produced are located in Canada, Switzerland, Italy, China and Japan:
- Ceriano Laghetto (Italy) is specialised in the synthesis of active ingredients for X-ray and MR contrast media.
- Spin, a production unit of the Bracco group in Torviscosa (Italy), is a production facility for the manufacture of the active substance for X-ray contrast media.
- Bracco Suisse SA in Geneva (Switzerland) has a production plant and research lab for ultrasound contrast media.
- The production facility in Montreal (Canada) specialises in the production of contrast media for oral applications.
- Colleretto Giacosa (Italy) is home to the sterile production of pre-filled syringes with MR contrast media. Also located at this site are chemical laboratories and research laboratories (CRB - Bracco Research Centre).
- The industrial plants of Bracco Sine are located in the Pudong region of Shanghai (China). These facilities are home to sterile production, in particular for the supply of the Chinese market with non-ionic X-ray contrast media.
- The industrial plants of Bracco Eisai are located in Saitama (Japan). The production facility serves the Japanese market and is designed especially for the packaging of non-ionic X-ray contrast media and MR contrast media.
The highest standards for the highest expectations
So that we may guarantee the consistently high quality of the products, meticulous monitoring is our number one priority.
For instance, raw materials are checked by quality control prior to use, and the manufacturing process is monitored using what are known as in-process controls. Further processing may take place only once the defined criteria have been met. The final stage is to carry out an approval examination on the finished product.
The filled sterile products (e.g. in glass bottles, ampoules, syringes etc.) are visually checked before packaging for particulate matter and other faults. Labelling is carried out only after clearance has been given. The products are then furnished with an instruction leaflet and stored ready for dispatch in the finished pharmaceutical goods warehouse until they finally start their journey and are shipped all over world.
What's our favourite side? The safe side
All our processes are in line with the internationally recognised cGMP (current good manufacturing process) quality standards and the guidelines of the WHO (World Health Organisation), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European and German health authorities. Occupational health, safety and environmental protection are a top priority at BIPSO. In practice, these important elements of our work are promoted with the aid of regular safety trainings, security inspections and ongoing courses.
Our production site in the Singen industrial park has evolved in over 30 years in a “centre of excellence” for the production and packaging of high-quality sterile pharmaceutical products. Our strength is based on the knowledge, ability, reliability, quality awareness and flexibility of our staff. Some of whom have been working here for many years and gained a lot of experience
The number of occupational groups represented on the site is a reflection of the diversity and complexity of the pharmaceutical industry. For instance, the specialists working here include pharmacists, chemists, chemical laboratory technicians, biologists, engineers, foremen and mechanics, pharmaceutical production technicians, electricians, mechatronics engineers, skilled workers with various fields of expertise, and commercial employees.
