Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals Expands its Capacities at its Madison Facility
The expansion is being driven by an increase in demand for custom chemical manufacturing services for highly potent APIs, including category III and category IV compounds. "The expansion further positions us to provide unparalleled service in the high potency API manufacturing market," said Frank Wicks, President of Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals. "Initiating the Madison expansion reinforces the decision we made back in June when we acquired Tetrionics. The new addition allows us to continue to grow our high potency business and provides resources that enables us to meet the needs of current and future customers."
The new two-story addition will include:
- Expanded research and development suites and scale up laboratories
- New analytical laboratories & equipment
- Five new cGMP kilolab manufacturing suites
- Increased warehousing and storage space
The company anticipates the expansion will be complete in early 2006.
