PUNE, India, November 7, 2019/PRNewswire-AsiaNet/

Enzene Biosciences today formally opened its first fully connected continuous 
Biologics manufacturing facility in Pune, India. This first-of-its-kind 
facility was built in half the time as compared to the conventional biologics 
manufacturing plants. The state-of-the-art manufacturing plant has a 
significantly smaller footprint than the conventional manufacturing facilities.

have set up a fully automated continuous cGMP compliant manufacturing plant for 
mAb production.

This plant as compared to a traditional manufacturing plant is capable of 
delivering higher production, and will also enable Enzene as well its potential 
clients to rapidly move their early/pre-clinical assets to the later stage of 
development or to the commercial stage.

With this, the company lives up to it's mission of delivering cost effective 
biosimilars by developing disruptive technologies, advanced analytics and 
state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

"Some of the world's biggest drugs are biologics and Alkem laboratories Ltd. 
always aspired to enter the arena of biologics. With that intent, we have 
invested significantly into this space. Our new biologics manufacturing plant 
endorses our commitment to expand into the space of biotech innovations," said 
Mr. Sandeep Singh, the MD of Alkem Laboratories Ltd. (the 5th largest 
pharmaceutical company in India as per IQVIA MAT September 2019).

Enzene aims to broaden its footprint for innovative technologies through 
strategic global alliances and has taken first steps towards it by procuring 
its first European client project for cGMP manufacturing of clinical material 
and create minimal solid waste and carbon emission.  

"High cost of manufacturing is one of the major barriers for the entry of 
biologics into the clinical stage of development. Enzene wishes to disrupt this 
cost barrier through the launch of their innovative manufacturing plant," 
expressed Dr. Himanshu Gadgil, Whole-Time Director and CSO at Enzene.

With this, Enzene Biosciences aspires to be the most sought after CDMO/CMO and 
aims to be a responsible corporate citizen on all aspects of environment, 
health and safety.
