Global pharmaceutical solutions provider, Origin, has announced the opening of a new
high-capacity aseptic facility for filling, labelling and packaging pharmaceutical
and healthcare products in Melton, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Demand for Life Sciences and Diagnostics is
emerging quickly and fiercely, spurred on by the unprecedented COVID-19
pandemic. The UK is a world leader in these two industries and has demonstrated
its knowledge and capabilities in the global response to the pandemic across
testing, diagnostics, and the development of treatments.
However, to continue to excel in these industries
and lead the way in global scientific advancement, the UK must build on its
aseptic filling capabilities.
In response, Origin
has invested in a market-leading aseptic filling facility at its HQ in
Yorkshire, which includes seven ISO 5 (Class 100) cleanroom environments and an
ISO 7 (Class 10,000) packaging hall.
This
state-of-the-art liquid filling facility has been specifically designed to meet
and surpass the stringent regulations laid out by ISO standards, ensuring that
it consistently provides suitable and versatile environments for aseptic
filling.
Achieving
ISO 5 standards in the facility has been made possible through a reliable and
undisrupted supply of HEPA filtered air whilst operating under positive
pressure. The result is a cutting-edge space dedicated to the automated filling
of liquid vials, which operates under positive pressure to guarantee that any
harmful bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms are prevented from entering.
Both
UK and international Life Sciences and Diagnostics industries will benefit from
a full-service product development service Origin can now provide. This includes
design, innovation, development, and aseptic filling - helping customers keep
to strict commercial schedules and deliver compliant and safe products ready to
market to consumers.
So
too will clients in the wider health and well being space producing liquid
products – the facility can deliver all forms of bespoke clean room manufacture projects.
The
announcement follows the unveiling of Origin’s new state-of-the-art warehouse
facility in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, creating more stock holding for
Origin’s UK and international pharmaceutical clients, as well as its own
manufactured products that are supplied globally.
This
larger warehouse capacity will enable Origin to create a more efficient pharma
packaging supply chain in the long term and protect against delays caused by
Brexit and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the short term.
It
will also help the company serve a growing client base who are seeking ISO
15378 pharma standard storage space.

Rich Quelch, Marketing Director commented:
“Origin’s
new market-leading aseptic facility marks an important milestone for the
company, helping to support and grow the Life Science and Diagnostics
industries at a time when the UK’s testing, diagnostics and manufacturing
capabilities have never been so vital, both domestically and abroad.”
