Cornu, 13/08/2021

Aenova at the site in Cornu, Romania, now received a Certificate on Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions for 2020. This certificate was issued based on the calculations made by the environmental engineers of the environmental consulting firm "Eco Synergy" on the packaging waste generated by Swiss Caps Romania, member of the Aenova Group, during 2020 and recycled/valorized by Eco Synergy. The joint action of Aenova in Cornu has contributed to the reduction of 415 tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, representing the saving of 2072 trees. This is another building block in the Aenova HSES strategy and reflects Aenova's claim: Excellence beyond Manufacturing!

PR Aenova Cooperation Wendelstein Workshop

"Sticking together despite the distance":
Swiss Caps and Wendelstein Werkstätten also cooperate during the pandemic

Continued cooperation with workshop for people with disabilities even in times of pandemic

Bad Aibling, 28/07/2021

The Corona pandemic posed particular challenges to the world of work and society over the past 15 months. This also applied to the proven cooperation between Swiss Caps GmbH, Member of the Aenova Group, in Bad Aibling and the Wendelstein Werkstätten. But the pharmaceutical company and the workshops for people with disabilities quickly found suitable solutions to continue the cooperation. Aenova is one of the world's leading contract developers and contract manufacturers for large national and international pharmaceutical and food supplement companies. The Bad Aibling site produces and packages tablets, coated tablets, hard capsules and above all effervescent products with around 400 employees. Thanks to early and strict COVID-19 measures throughout the Aenova Group, the production of important medicines for patients worldwide could be ensured without interruption. The cooperation with the Wendelstein workshops had to be adjusted due to corona. Employees of Wendelstein Werkstätten have been providing support to Swiss Caps GmbH in the areas of packaging, laboratory, warehouse/logistics, cleaning and metal workshop for 14 years. Due to the corona-related contact restrictions, the work on site was initially scaled back, but there were quickly talks between Swiss Caps and Wendelstein Werkstätten for a concept called "Zamrucka despite distance". This enabled the Swiss Caps team at Wendelstein Werkstätten to resume work in February 2021. With flexibility and ingenuity, the "Wendelsteiners" were offered pandemic-compliant opportunities that matched their skills and inclinations. The "cleaning team" was quickly able to resume work on its own responsibility and thus make an important contribution to infection control. In the in-house metal workshop, a former metal worker was able to contribute his extensive knowledge and skills for the production of mouth guard dispensers for the entire changing and production area of Swiss Caps GmbH. "For us as a company, respect and mutual appreciation are essential values. This also includes that people with disabilities can be integrated into working life," explains Thomas Lemke, Managing Director of Swiss Caps GmbH. "We are very pleased that we are able to maintain the cooperation over such difficult times and that Swiss Caps is so committed," add Michaela Paul, group management and integration support, and her colleague Hermann Rudolph, group service employee, from Wendelstein Werkstätten. The creative solution finding during the Corona pandemic illustrates how inclusion in working life can succeed. The Aenova site in Bad Aibling also stands out for its social commitment in the region. In the last twelve months, a four-digit donation was handed over twice to a children's home in Rosenheim. <figure><img src="https://next.aenova-group.com/content/navigation/_medium/Aenova_BAA_Wendelstein_Werkstaetten.jpg" alt="Cooperation with workshop for people with disabilites" /><figcaption>Successful "Sticking together despite the distance" by Swiss Caps GmbH and Wendelstein Werkstätten: the cleaning team was able to restart quickly despite the pandemic.

One-stop shop CDMO Aenova: production and packaging of softgel capsules from a single source

20/07/2021 - One-stop shop CDMO : production and packaging of softgel capsules from a single source

20/07/2021 - Cornu

Aenova produces and packages soft gelatin capsules and vegan soft capsules as a contract manufacturer for large, international pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement companies at its Cornu, Romania site with its subsidiary SWISSCAPS Romania s.r.l.. With the production of various dosage forms of pharmaceuticals and food supplements, the Aenova Group is one of the leading contract manufacturers and developers in Europe and worldwide (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation, CDMO). A new can and bottle filling plant has now been commissioned in Cornu, which can fill around 12 to 14 million plastic or glass bottles per year. At Aenova in Cornu, up to 10 billion softgel capsules are produced annually and can be packaged in blisters and cans or bottles. These include not only soft gelatin capsules for pharmaceuticals as well as dietary supplements, but also Aenova's vegan VegaGels®. With the newly installed filling line, the capacity of the packaging department with can and bottle filling will be significantly expanded. Aenova at the Cornu site is thus establishing itself as a "one-stop shop" for the production and packaging of soft capsules in all common variants and on customer request. The new line packs in bottles with a diameter of 44 to 76 mm and a height of 55 to 165 mm, made of glass or plastic, with screw cap or so-called press lid. Special bottles can also be filled on request. For secondary packaging, all common variants of cardboard packaging with or without package insert including shrink film packaging and labeling are possible. "The advantages of the "one-stop shop" for customers are obvious: with a competitive price, customer companies receive production and packaging from a single source, have only one contact person and only one manufacturing plant to qualify and register," explains Michael Ammann, Senior Vice President of the Softgel Capsules Business Unit and Managing Director at the Cornu site. This not only significantly reduces lead time, but also the overall on-time delivery (OTD). OTD at the Aenova site in Cornu is excellent at around 95%. "This means real added value for our customers," sums up Ammann.

Nitrosamine regulation implemented on time for many customers thanks to modular solution approach of Aenova

28/06/2021 - Nitrosamine regulation implemented on time thanks to modular solution approach of Aenova

Starnberg, 28/06/2021

<ul><li>Aenova developed a comprehensive process and solution approach for marketing authorization holders.</li><li>Already within the first regulatory deadline, all risk assessments for customers could be prepared.</li><li>The deadline extension for biologic drugs expires July 1, 2021.</li></ul>
After the regulatory authorities had already become aware of products containing valsartan in July 2018, the worldwide recall of medicines containing metformin also attracted great attention just over a year ago. The reason for this was a contamination with carcinogenic nitrosamines. In a report, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) called on companies to take actions to limit the presence of nitrosamines in medicines for human use as far as possible and to ensure that the strict limits are not exceeded. This posed a particular challenge, first for API manufacturers, then for marketing authorization holders, as well as for contract manufacturers working for pharmaceutical companies. Within a short period of time, the Aenova Group, as the world's leading contract developer and manufacturer for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, was able to implement a comprehensive, scientifically based modular solution for risk assessments, both in terms of content and process, and to execute this together with the customer companies for their products.<h5>The first specifications of the EMA</h5>
In the interest of patient safety, marketing authorization holders were made responsible by the EMA to review their manufacturing processes, first for all products containing chemically synthesized active ingredients and later also for biological active ingredients, in order to identify and mitigate the risk of nitrosamine contamination where applicable. Similarly, strict nitrosamine limits were set for products. Furthermore, for all affected products marketing authorization holders needed to also implement appropriate control strategies and to further improve manufacturing processes where necessary.The risk assessment of all products should be completed at the latest within six months after the publication of the "Information on Nitrosamines for Marketing Authorization Holders". Thereupon, the authorization holders were to inform the competent authorities when the risk assessment was completed. For this purpose, an initial deadline of 26.03.2020 applied. In the course of last year, this had to be extended initially until 01.10.2020, then again until 31.03.2021 due to the COVID19 pandemic, and applies to biological medicinal products until 01.07.2021. Aenova was able to complete all risk assessments for its own customers on time by the first deadline. Thanks to the flexible, modular structure of the Aenova approach, it can also be modified for biological medicinal products.

Crypto codes: special serialization for the Russian market

01/06/2021 - Crypto codes: special serialization for the Russian market

01/06/2021

When it comes to serialization of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, crypto codes are a special requirement for the Russian market.Since July 1, 2020, every drug offered for sale on the Russian market must be serialized using crypto-code. Strict requirements apply to the print quality of the code. Complete traceability and protection against counterfeiting of the products produced by means of serialization is mandatory. The basic prerequisite for counterfeit-proofing of a product is the unique assignment of a serial number in conjunction with individual production data (product identification GTIN/NTIN/PPN, expiry date, and batch number) in the form of a data matrix code. This is used to mark the folding boxes of the respective medicines or food supplements. Aenova offers a secure solution.

BIO Digital virtual conference

31/05/2021 - BIO Digital virtual conference with special topics in times of pandemic

Online, 10.-11./14.-18.06.2021

<h5>Special topics in times of pandemic: vaccines take center stage</h5>
BIO Digital is the world's largest virtual biotech partnering and education event, convening thousands of global biotech leaders and innovators. BioTech naturally has a special focus in times of Covid, where the rapid development of the new vaccines, among many other topics, has shown us how quickly progress can be made in this area. The pandemic has led to shifts in business focus or even changes in business models for many companies.Recent studies show that contract manufacturers for the pharmaceutical industry, CDMOs (contract development and manufacturing organizations), have so far been little involved in the production of vaccines. This is changing with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.Leading CMDOs like Aenova Group can support these challenges as a "full service provider" - from small scale manufacturing of materials for clinical trials, technical transfer to scale up of high volume production of fill and finish of biologics like Covid-19-vaccines.
<h5>Fill &amp; Finish of Vaccines</h5>
Aenova has just launched a major investment program that includes the installation of further state-of-the-art equipment for aseptic production. With a completely new "fill and finish" area for vials and prefilled syringes with high-speed filling lines including compounding at the Aenova site in Latina, Italy, more than 80 million vials and over 180 million prefilled syringes can be produced there per year. Aenova is also planning a further capacity expansion with up to three additional high-speed filling lines.

Aenova significantly expands capacity for Fill&Finish of Vaccines and Biologics

07/05/2021 - Aenova significantly expands capacity for Fill&Finish of Vaccines and Biologics

Latina, 07/05/2021

In order to expand its fill and finish capacity for the production of Biologics and especially BSL1 and BSL2 vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the Aenova Group is currently building a new sterile production area at its site in Latina, Italy. With an investment volume of more than 16 million euros, the focus is on a new "Fill and Finish" area for vials and prefilled syringes (PFS) with high-speed filling lines including compounding. The first line to be installed has a capacity of more than 80 million vials (glass and plastic) and over 180 million prefilled syringes per year. Aenova is also planning a phased capacity expansion of this new area with up to three additional high-speed filling lines.
As one of the world's leading contract developer and manufacturer, Aenova has many years of experience in the production of sterile injectables - from pre-filled syringes and ampoules to liquid vials, lyophilized vials and aseptic powder vials (powder filling in vials), also for biological preparations and Bio Safety Level 1 and 2 (BSL) vaccines such as mRNA, DNA, viral vectors, protein subunits, virus-like particles and inactivated vaccines. The new sterile area is based on state-of-the-art technology: the aseptic filling process is fully automated, the multi-purpose machine can process vials as well as PFS products in the preferred formats 0.5 to 10 ml for prefilled syringes and 2 ml to 10 ml for ready-to-use vials. Quality control, packaging and labeling, including serialization, complete the scope of supply. "This investment is a major step in positioning Aenova as a provider of differentiated technologies, development and high-volume manufacturing capabilities for small molecules and biologics," explains Jan Kengelbach, CEO of Aenova Group. “With this expansion in large volume vials and pre-filled syringes to complement its existing offering in ampoules, liquid and lyophilized vials, Aenova is becoming a Premier Solution Partner for sterile technologies”, says Florent Bordet, SVP Sterile &amp; Liquid Business Unit. The Aenova site in Latina, one of the largest production facilities in the Aenova Group with around 600 employees, produces and distributes pharmaceutical products for human and animal health worldwide. This new sterile offering will complement a broad site portfolio in human and animal health that includes oral solids for conventional drugs, injectables and oral solids for beta-lactam antibiotics and chewable tablets for parasiticide compounds. "We are very proud that we, as Aenova Group, will now be able to contribute greatly to the containment of the pandemic in the future," explains Paolo Abbate, Managing Director of Haupt Pharma Latina S.r.l., Member of the Aenova Group.

Space project in kindergarten: Little astronauts travel into space

Kirchberg, 20/04/2021

For the children of the Zuckenriet kindergarten near Kirchberg (CH), an interesting project turned into a true fantasy journey into space. Traveling in COVID-19 times: that's as good as impossible; traveling into space: even more so. But a project of the kindergarten Zuckenriet made it possible. For quite some time now, outer space, the sun, the moon and the stars have been the subject of a project in the kindergarten. The children learned about the planets of the solar system, observed the moon at home in the evening and reported the next day how it changes from night to night. Then the idea came up to make a fantastic research trip into space. Astronaut helmets were quickly made with balloons and paste, and the little astronauts could look into space from the cut-out, silver-edged peephole of the helmets. A room lined with aluminum foil became the rocket's interior. Now all that was missing were the matching "space suits. For this, the kindergarten asked Swiss Caps AG, a member of the Aenova Group. The Aenova Group is a leading global contract manufacturer for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. At the Kirchberg site, soft gelatine capsules are developed and produced, such as high-dose vitamin D preparations. High standards of hygiene are set in pharmaceutical production. For this reason, employees only enter the production rooms wearing special protective suits, which have now become "space suits" in the Zuckenriet kindergarten. With this, the spaceman ambience was complete and the journey into space could begin. A great project that made learning, creativity and fun possible even in times of pandemic.

Vaccine Filling at the Highest Level. Aenova Combines Experience and Quality with Delivery Reliability and Cost Efficiency

14/04/2021 - Vaccine Filling at the Highest Level

16.04.2021

Recent studies show that contract manufacturers for the pharmaceutical industry, so-called CDMOs (contract development and manufacturing organizations), have so far been little involved in the production of vaccines. This is changing with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
There are two reasons for this: On the one hand, vaccine developing companies often do not have the capabilities of commercial production and, on the other hand, the current pandemic situation requires the rapid supply of very large numbers of vaccine doses worldwide, i.e. commercial production on a very large scale. Leading CMDOs like Aenova Group can support these challenges as a "full service provider" - from small scale manufacturing of materials for clinical trials, technical transfer to scale up of high volume production of fill and finish of biologics. Fill &amp; Finish of Vaccines In order to expand its capacity for the production of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, Aenova has just launched a major investment program that includes the installation of further state-of-the-art equipment for aseptic production.

As a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization in the pharmaceutical sector, Aenova plays a central role in the production and development of innovative drugs. In an interview with CHEManager, Aenova CEO Jan Kengelbach presents the company's orientation as an end-to-end CDMO and reports on the "largest investment program in Aenova's history".
Kengelbach: "Aenova, as a leading contract manufacturer for numerous large pharmaceutical companies, must always ensure the supply of patients worldwide with sometimes vital medicines. The challenges of the pandemic in times of globalized commodity flows and supply chains are that, on the one hand, the active ingredients can either only be procured in Asia or - if they are produced in Europe - the precursors are often of Asian origin. In addition, in the highly regulated pharmaceutical market, only one source of raw materials is approved in many marketing authorizations, which further exacerbates the situation. However, our global procurement has so far coped very well with this stress test and ensured supply very well with proactive risk management and permanent communication with all stakeholders.
