ABEC announced the completion of its second ISO-7 cleanroom for single-use disposable container (DC) manufacturing. ABEC’s Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA, cleanroom has been fully operational since 2015, and the new Fermoy, Ireland, cleanroom will be operational this April, adding capacity while establishing supply redundancy.
Identical tooling and operational procedures at the two facilities provide DC consistency. The CSR DC also utilizes non-proprietary, commercially available materials, instruments, and components, allowing customers to leverage existing qualification and validation efforts. These factors combine to provide customers with unprecedented control of single-use supply chains.
“A flexible and reliable supply of high quality DC’s is critical to our customers’ single-use manufacturing operations,” said Scott Pickering, ABEC President and CEO. “ABEC’s new state-of-the art cleanroom in Fermoy greatly enhances our DC supply capability and further reduces our customers’ single-use supply chain risk.”
