Leading pharmaceutical outsourcing services provider PCI Pharma Services (PCI) has announced its plan to acquire Australia-based Pharmaceutical Packaging Professionals (PPP). The acquisition of PPP, a leading provider of clinical trial manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution services, establishes a presence for PCI in Australia, viewed as pivotal to continued growth and expansion in the Asia Pacific region. Australia is one of the leading countries for Phase 1 studies globally, and with this acquisition, PPP’s Phase I offering also enables PCI to better support customers from early phases of clinical development through to commercial launch.
PPP is a recognized leader in clinical trial supply with a comprehensive suite of support services including early clinical phase sterile and non-sterile drug manufacture of investigational medicines, packaging and labeling services for investigational products, as well as logistical services including storage and distribution to global investigational sites. PPP’s expertise supports projects across a range of temperature conditions including controlled room temperature, 2-8°C, -20°C, and -80°C environments, which expands PCI’s existing capabilities in storing, packaging, and shipping Cold Chain products. Experiencing significant demand for its services, PPP is currently undertaking a facility expansion and upgrade to add additional storage and distribution services, labeling and packaging rooms, Grade D manufacturing as well as sterile-fill manufacturing capabilities for Phase II clinical studies.
