G-Con, GE Healthcare to collaborate for bio-process manufacturing solution development

The collaboration combines GE Healthcare’s global presence and expertise in biopharmaceutical manufacturing technology with G-Con’s modular portable flexible clean-room technology.

The collaboration will offer comprehensive GMP manufacturing solutions that are less expensive and quicker to build and maintain and easier to operate than any currently existing solution on the market.

Together, the companies have the capability to design, build and deliver turnkey advanced bio-therapeutic manufacturing facilities throughout the world, and will be able to meet the growing market for rapid access to biopharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities, whether in developing markets, or for increased speed in situations such as pandemic response.

G-Con Manufacturing president Barry Holtz said they are excited by the market-changing next generation therapeutic manufacturing innovations that this collaboration will be able to produce.

GE Healthcare Biotechnologies vice president Nigel Darby said this collaboration is part of the company’s mission to increase speed and access, and reduce cost for developers and manufacturers of bio-therapeutics and vaccines around the world.

"This collaboration means we move further towards our vision of modular and possibly mobile flexible biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities the vaccine factory in a box," Darby said.
