Equipment for the production of COVID-19 vaccines

Manufacture and supply of equipment for the production of COVID-19 vaccines for two leading European manufacturers.

The customers were pharmaceutical companies tasked with mass producing the main vaccines in the fight against COVID-19.

The customers had been authorised to produce the vaccine by the main pharmaceutical companies that had developed them and needed to produce them quickly in order to start vaccinating the population as soon as possible.

They needed sterilisable equipment to cool and keep the vaccine homogeneous before entering the filling machine.

The main constraint for these two customers was the lead time for the production of the PED reactors and the supplier’s expertise in sterile equipment for pharmaceutical products.
