Our plants
Our plants
We have 7 sites in Frace and Spain and more than 1 300 team members. We support pharmaceutical firms in developing and manufacturing their products (drugs and medical devices) in the following areas:
• Oral solids (tablets, coated or dragees, capsules and soft gel capsules);
• Non sterile mono dose (sachet, powader and liquid sticks);
• Sterile multidose with or without preservatives (nasal sprays, eydrops and ear drops);
• Freeze dried forms sterile and non sterile.
As a specialist CDMO, Synerlab Group can manufacture all types of batches : clinical, pilot and industrial batches. We have a unique savoir faire in small to mid size series and our clients are mostly major players on our markets. Our services also include a devlopment center with a strong skillset in galenics, analytics and phase 1 to phase 3 batch production.
Operational excellence
We are a French based pharmaceutical manufacturing firm with a mostly European span. Our products are safe and secure and respond to GMP certifications.
GMP certifications are either State or EU driven directives in quality assurance. They apply to both human and veterinary medicines.
A project based ambition
Our highly performing industrial tools together with deeply engaged teams allow us to support our clients in the development and their product industrialisation. In order to anticipate and better respond to their needs we have identified several scale up projects we are engaged in:
• Lean management and continuous improvement: Synerlab Group have embarked on a Lean management method in order to define a framework for best practices in improving productivity and enhancing site capacity. It is also the opportunity to diffuse a culture of Lean management favoring autonomy and ownership for the teams;
• ERP
• Serialisation : as of Feb 9th 2019, every drug needs to be identified through an only number of series allowing control across the board. This is a global demand for traceability but Europe has chosen serialisation as the option.
