Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing Expands with New 150,000 sq. ft. Facility

• Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing (GRAM) announces its third world-class facility in five years.

• The new 150,000 sq. ft. syringe and cartridge filling center is expected to be fully operational by 2026.

Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing (GRAM), a sterile injectable contract manufacturer of biologics, small molecules, and vaccines, has announced the construction of its third world-class facility in five years. The new 150,000 sq. ft. syringe and cartridge filling center is designed to provide greater capacity for the industry’s growing biologics pipeline and the growth in advanced drug delivery systems for patient self-administration.

The new center, currently under construction, is strategically positioned as part of GRAM’s extended Grand Rapids campus. It is adjacent to GRAM’s existing 200,000 sq. ft. finishing and warehouse center. This expansion brings the CDMO to five manufacturing facilities and more than 450,000 sq. ft. of production space.

The facility is designed to hold up to four syringe/cartridge filling and inspection lines. By enhancing capacity, the new center will complement GRAM’s existing syringe and cartridge filling line. GRAM estimates that building construction will be complete in 2025, with new filling and inspection equipment installed in 2026.

Increasing capacity for a growing market

The PharmaSource Podcast recently interviewed David Powell, Vice President of Business Development at GRAM about their strategy to increase capacity in fast-growing biologics fill-finish space. Listen to the full interview here:
