Alphora Research Proceeds with $8M Plant Expansion

Alphora is pleased to announce its decision to expand plant operations with an $8M capital investment. The expansion will double the size of the plant operations, adding additional 500L, 200L and 50L vessels. The new plant is expected to be fully validated and operational by July 2017.

The addition will complement existing operations, providing additional capacity for new business and redundancy to support commercial programs. Alphora has an active pipeline of near-commercial molecules, with approvals anticipated as early as late 2016. As well, Alphora has a growing client base and the additional capacity will provide for further growth.
