Fedegari Group has recently concluded the installation of a state-of-the-art robotized system for processing pharmaceutical closures at the biotech manufacturing laboratories of Serum Institute of India that are helping to increase the vaccine production capacity of the company.

Fedegari has worked with Serum exchanging experiences and studying their sterile production process to offer a completely robotized and integrated transfer solution, created ad-hoc for their needs. This way, Serum optimized the transfer of clean closures to the filling line by installing a Fedegari stopper processing system with a tank instead of using a common solution that would have included beta canisters, washers and autoclaves.

We are proud to be serving Serum Institute with our various range of top of the line equipment since two decades and are proud that they are using them to save mankind from one of the worst pandemics ever, said Ajay Mehra from ACE Technologies.

This project consolidates Fedegari’s presence in the Asian market and more specifically in India, where the Group has been present for over 15 years, collaborating with all the main bio-/pharmaceutical companies through the long-term partnership with ACE Technologies. To better support the Indian market, Fedegari has recently opened a Technical Support Center in Hyderabad.

“We are very proud of our historical collaboration with Serum Institute, the world’s leading manufacturer of vaccines with whom we have been working for more than 15 years. A project like this is a big step towards true integrated engineering and goes far beyond the delivery of stand-alone process equipment. It requires a deep understanding of the end-user real needs to engineer a highly customized solution able to assure the highest reliability and efficiency of the system. Delivering this plant to Serum Institute has been a challenge for both our companies but has allowed to explore new frontiers in the application of robots in critical manufacturing environments. Engineering modern, cost-effective bio-pharmaceutical facilities implies many skills, above all the capability of designing solutions that integrate different machines and processes while assuring higher quality of the end-product.”

Giuseppe Fedegari, President of Fedegari Group

“We believe in international knowledge married together with our major capabilities as manufacturer to achieve the best results: a sterility quality control issue where there is no human intervention is very essential for a product. No human being at any level comes in direct proximity with the vaccines. Our collaboration with state-of-the-art suppliers is crucial to share experiences and technical knowledge that allow our business to remain competitive while saving many lives around the globe”, stated Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, founder of Serum Institute.
