PharmaZell is a newly established company that has taken over
Noveon s business of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and
intermediates in May 2006. This management buy-out enables
PharmaZell to become entirely focused on the pharmaceutical
industry. The name PharmaZell was chosen indicating the return to
the roots of the business in the 1950s. In June 2007 Pharmazell
acquired from Sandoz a controlling stake in GEA Pharmaceutical
located in Copenhagen, Denmark. GEA s broad capabilities in finished
dosage form development and the experience in controlled
substances complement now the portfolio of services and products
that Pharmazell offers to its customers.
PharmaZell s mission is to provide high quality ingredients and
services at competitive prices to its customers. This is achieved by
combining the best of two worlds with manufacturing and
development bases in Europe and India. The business is determined
to grow through continued investments in new and existing product
and service areas.
PharmaZell offers to its clients standard and custom made APIs and
intermediates as well as all chemical, pharmaceutical development
services and regulatory activities required to bring a pharmaceutical
product to the market.
PharmaZell serves its customers through a worldwide sales
organization including its own employees as well as agents. The
sales team is committed to provide fast and competent solutions
to the requests of our clients.
PharmaZell operates cGMP sites in Chennai/India, Copenhagen/
Denmark and Raubling/Germany with a total of about 330
employees. An additional site is currently being developed in
Vizag/India. The combination of European and Indian sites generates
flexibility in manufacturing capacities and attractive cost structures.
PharmaZell s quality assurance and regulatory departments ensure
full regulatory and GMP compliance. PharmaZell regularly passed
FDA inspections during the last 20 years. All sites have been inspected
by European authorities and GMP certificates are available for all
APIs. GEA s quality assurance and regulatory departments ensure
full regulatory compliant dossiers and GMP compliant production
of clinical trial batches.
PharmaZell develops innovative processes for APIs and Intermediates
through its R&D groups that cover all scales from laboratory to
commercial production. Through the acquisition of GEA, PharmaZell
provides fully vertically integrated development programmes from
API to finished dosage form including regulatory documentation,
procedures and strategies.
