Contract API/Intermediate Synthesis- from a lab scale to commercial (GMP and FDA inspected.)

Fuji Chemical Industries manufactures more than 1,000 tons of APIs annually, and provides GMP contract services to domestic and overseas clients. centered on the GMP process from intermediates to APIs to domestic and overseas pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Contract manufacturing is carried out in Organic Building No.1, No.2, No.5 and test buildings, which are all multipurpose plants and cGMP compliant. In addition to 75-9,000L reactors, we also have a reactor that can support cryogenic reaction along with autoclaves up to 6,000L.

refining facility equipped with a class 100,000 clean room for API manufacturing, and depending on the production volume, we can provide three systems of equipment that support scales of 300L to 6,000L.

We can serve you with a small-quantity trial to commercial production for various types of reactions.
