Formulated Solutions, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) focused on pharma and consumer healthcare solutions, has added a third GMP aerosol production line as it prepares for future customer demand.
Formulated Solutions’ Cleveland, TN, facility.
Featuring the latest technology, the new GMP production line at its Cleveland, TN, facility is fully automated—from filling through to final case packing. The new high-speed line leverages a mass flow filler to deliver exceptional fill accuracy, automated leak detection to ensure high levels of compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) aerosol regulations, and fully automated secondary bundling in support of the demands of retail channel distribution.
The company said the ability to now run three distinct product lines significantly boosts its production capacity for medicated topical aerosols, including sunscreens, topical analgesics and anti-fungal sprays. Formulated Solutions’ new line positions it to effectively meet future demand, from initial concept to full-scale manufacturing.
Scott Carpenter, VP of Marketing & Partner Innovation, Formulated Solutions, said, “As consumer and retailer interactions with key market products change, companies are faced with the challenge to innovate, cut costs, and accelerate delivery at the same time as maintaining strict quality and safety standards.
“The addition of a second GMP aerosol production line at our Cleveland facility, our third full scale line in our production network, will ensure we have the flexibility and capacity to deliver on demand for services in this thriving sector, and will help us continue to meet our industry-leading quality standards,” Carpenter added.
The new line’s functionality allows Formulated Solutions to offer customers the capability to fill two different bulk intermediates sequentially and use two different propellant blends in the same finished product. Cutting-edge technology featured in the new line includes:
