AGC Biologics is increasing the production capacity of its Copenhagen facility. The company will construct a new building on land adjacent to its current Copenhagen site, adding production floors with 2000L single-use bioreactors, labs and office space.
The total investment for this expansion is estimated to be approximately €160 million ($194.5 million), and the start of operation is scheduled for 2023.
The expansion will more than double AGC Biologics' single-use bioreactor mammalian cell-culture capacity in Copenhagen, enabling AGC Biologics to meet the needs of the market. The new building will have a total floor area of approximately 19,000m2 and is an important part of AGC Biologics' global expansion plan.
"We are continuously looking for ways to expand and extend our capabilities and capacities for our current and future customers," said AGC Biologics chief executive officer, Patricio Massera. "This significant expansion of the capacity of our Copenhagen facility will further strengthen our ability to meet the needs of our customers across our global network."
"Building on our leadership in single use manufacturing, we are now establishing a new state of the art facility with a flexible and efficient set-up for biologic drug substance manufacturing. It will be a great facility and we are looking forward to making it available for existing and new Customers," added chief technical officer, Kasper Moller.
