API Facility (Unit-1) was commissioned in 2000 and is based in Dholka, Gujarat. It spans across 112,302 square meters and has total fermentation capacity of 450 m 3 The fermentation manufacturing blocks are well supported by chemical synthesis downstream recovery blocks and power processing areas.

API Facility (Unit-3) was commissioned in 2021 and is based in Limbasi, Gujarat. It spans across 596,309 m2 and has total fermentation capacity of 800 m3. It has multiple fermentation, downstream recovery and powder processing blocks.

Concord has commercialized APIs across niche therapeutic segments like Immunosuppressant, Oncology, Anti-fungal, and Anti-bacterial in over 70 countries.

Both facilities are fully compliant with cGMPs and have been inspected by numerous global regulatory agencies, including the US Food & Drug Administration (US FDA).

Microbiology Fermentation

Concord Biotech houses a microbiological laboratory with well qualified and highly trained R&D team strictly following cGLP guidelines. The laboratory is well equipped for maintenance & propagation of microorganisms, inoculums supply to plant and in-process quality check. There are separate clean rooms and lyophilization facility for long-term storage of microorganisms.

Fermentation

Our total annual installed fermentation capacity for API is 1250 m3. We have a total of 41 manufacturing blocks and 387 reactors in the Dholka and Limbasi facilities, which allows us the flexibility in plant configuration to cater to customer demands.

Downstream Recovery

Fermentation is well supported by downstream recovery facility. At Concord there are multiple downstream recovery blocks for handling a diverse range of products in the areas of Immunosuppressants, Oncology, Anti-Infective, Anti-Fungal, and Enzymes. Some of the major equipments at recovery blocks are:

  • Whole broth extractors
  • Micro-filtration, Nano-filtration & Ultra-filtration
  • Chromatography Columns
  • Oncology Facility
  • Stand Alone Lyophilization block

Safety, Health & Environment

We are an environment conscious organization and our process framework includes responsibilities such as environmental management and implementation of optimal methods and measures for its preservation. As a responsible Corporate, Concord has always believed in taking all the necessary precautions to help maintain the balance of our eco-system.
