March 4, 2021 -- Contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies held a ceremony on March 3 to celebrate the large-scale expansion of cell culture capacity at its production facility in Hillerød, Denmark.
The expansion project includes the addition of six 20,000-L bioreactors, which represents a doubling of the facility's bulk drug substance production capacity and the installation of fill/finish capability to support production of approximately 35 million units per year, Fujifilm Diosynth said in a statement.
