Alcami unveils new conditions and services at state-of-the-art pharma storage facility in Garner
Central North Carolina pharma storage facility now offers extensive cold and stability conditions plus full suite of material support services
DURHAM, N.C., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alcami Corporation ("Alcami"), a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has significantly expanded the cold, stability, and custom storage options at its new 65,000 ft2 state-of-the-art pharma storage facility in Garner. With a prime location near the Research Triangle Park (RTP) biotech and pharma hub, the best-in-class facility offers diverse, customizable, scalable, long-term storage conditions for temperature-sensitive vaccines, biopharma therapies, cell banks, tissues, pharmaceutical compounds, raw materials, components and medical devices.
"Alcami's new facility is well positioned to fill previously unmet market demand," said Laurent Boer, President, Alcami Pharma Storage and Services. "The pipeline of complex medicines – exactly the type of ground-breaking products that life science companies in RTP work on – is only increasing. The biopharmaceutical materials and products in these drugs require very specific warehouse conditions that this new facility provides. But what truly sets us apart as a CDMO is our ability to offer a comprehensive pharma storage network paired with seamless access to our integrated laboratory and manufacturing services. From development to delivery, Alcami has the capabilities to care for and secure product within our own network, reducing risk and streamlining efficiency."
After opening in January with controlled/ambient storage, the facility can now accept shipments for an extensive range of storage conditions, including stability chamber storage, refrigerated storage, freezer, ultra-low freezer, and cryogenic storage (LN2) as well as custom conditions. In addition, the site now offers a full suite of materials management and support services that facilitate the full product development, storage, and commercialization journey, including onsite aliquoting/sampling in grade C sampling booths, refrigerated transport, labeling, cycle counting/inventory management, custom kitting, and reference standards management.
The new central North Carolina facility adjacent to the Research Triangle Park expands Alcami's high-quality, secure GMP storage network to six U.S. locations across the Northeast, Southeast, and West Coast. Alcami's network covers a wide range of GMP temperature storage conditions, from ≤-135˚C to 70˚C, including all ICH stability conditions. Alcami's new location further positions the company to address pharma supply chain risk mitigation with storage locations throughout the U.S.
Since opening its new Garner site in January, Alcami has created 25 new jobs onsite, including skilled operations technicians and specialists, quality/regulatory specialists, and site managers. This facility is yet another step in the company's growth and steadfast investment and commitment to the Research Triangle Park and the state of North Carolina.
