02-02-2009: Saltigo GmbH has demonstrated its wide-ranging expertise in the fields of synthesis optimization and process development. The global specialist for exclusive custom synthesis has succeeded in increasing capacity for an active ingredient precursor for a major pharmaceutical manufacturer without needing to halt or interrupt the production process in any way. The project involved raising the output of a plant in Leverkusen from 30 metric tons a year to an urgently required 50 tons - under ongoing production.

Dr. Carsten Hesse, head of Manufacturing Strategy in the Pharma business line says: "It was absolutely essential to maintain reliable supplies of the product for our customer during the expansion phase. Because this project involved a complex, multi-step synthesis with very tight specifications and high quality requirements, it needed exceedingly accurate planning. The new connections and the re-routing of the apparatus were prepared so precisely that the output of the overall chain was not interrupted." The measures led to process and plant optimization and to a speeding up of the analytical procedures accompanying the process. Furthermore, it resulted in a near doubling of the capacity.
