This multi-million Euros investment is designed to provide industrial scale production of high value natural molecules used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Equipped with Samabriva’s proprietary bioreactors, which have been specifically designed to maximise production in hairy root culture, the facility will enhance efficiency and output.
In addition to providing advanced manufacturing, the facility will create several new jobs across bioproduction, analytics and quality assurance, contributing to global economic growth. It will also provide customers with full control over the biomanufacturing process, offering a cost effective and sustainable alternative to open field production.
We are delighted to be implementing the high potential manufacturing platform that Samabriva has been developing over the last ten years on an industrial scale. The platform will enable GMP quality production of molecules of interest for our current and future customers.
Samabriva is a plant biotechnology company that has successfully developed a proprietary bioproduction platform already used by the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. For companies seeking affordable production of high value-added molecules, Samabriva’s innovative and flexible system offers a breakthrough solution.
Samabriva’s platform combines the advantages of plant-based systems (low cost, safe, serum- and animal-free) with traditional bioproduction in large-scale bioreactors. This delivers continuous, cost effective and environmentally sustainable manufacture of a wide range of high value molecules all year round, in any location.
