The expansion increases the site’s footprint by 32,000 square feet (3,000 square meters), adding storage and handling of clinical trial supply materials at controlled room temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. It also creates space in the original building to accommodate the installation of a new, fully automatic bottle filling line, as well as a dedicated area for Catalent’s FastChain^® demand-led supply service. These added capabilities will support a continued high level of service to Catalent’s pharma and biotech customers and the patients they serve.

“The Schorndorf site plays an important role in the strategic focus of the company and our ability to meet customer demand for clinical packaging solutions, including temperature-controlled services,” said Lorenzo Carletti, President, Clinical Development & Supply, Catalent, Inc. “We are pleased to bring additional capacity to the site for temperature-controlled storage and Catalent’s FastChain service so that we can meet the current and future needs of our customers.”

Opened in 1996, Catalent’s Schorndorf facility provides comprehensive clinical supply services including multi-lingual project services – including English, French and German – comparator sourcing, primary and secondary packaging, labeling, clinical storage and distribution, and returns and destruction. This co-located site also offers late-stage pharma product development and commercial services, including oral solid dose manufacturing and specialty packaging.

The company’s FastChain service is a continuous Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) approach that decouples primary from secondary packaging to enable timely and cost-effective adaptation and regional supply of clinical materials on demand.
