Enzene is amongst the first movers in end-to-end connected bio manufacturing to have set up a fully automated continuous cGMP compliant manufacturing plant for mAb production.

This plant as compared to a traditional manufacturing plant is capable of delivering higher production,and will also enable Enzene as well its potential clients to rapidly move their early/pre-clinical assets to the later stage of development or to the commercial stage.

With this,the company lives up to it's mission of delivering cost effective biosimilars by developing disruptive technologies,advanced analytics and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Our new biologics manufacturing plant endorses our commitment to expand into the space of biotech innovations," said Mr. Sandeep Singh,the MD of Alkem Laboratories Ltd. (the 5th largest pharmaceutical company in India as per IQVIA MAT September 2019).

Enzene aims to broaden its footprint for innovative technologies through strategic global alliances and has taken first steps towards it by procuring its first European client project for cGMP manufacturing of clinical material and create minimal solid waste and carbon emission.

"High cost of manufacturing is one of the major barriers for the entry of biologics into the clinical stage of development. Enzene wishes to disrupt this cost barrier through the launch of their innovative manufacturing plant," expressed Dr. Himanshu Gadgil,Whole-Time Director and CSO at Enzene.
