Piramal Pharma Solutions, NewAmsterdam Pharma open dedicated oral solid dosage form suite at Piramal Sellersville facility

This suite will facilitate the production of NewAmsterdam Pharma's investigational FDC, a non-statin cholesterol medication to reduce LDL-C.

Although the suite is essential to the FDC's production, the partnership between Piramal Pharma Solutions and NewAmsterdam Pharma extends beyond the Sellersville site. Piramal's Ahmedabad PPDS, India site played a crucial role in the product's development, while its Pithampur, India site provides dual sourcing support.

"We are thrilled to expand our OSD production capabilities at the Sellersville facility with this new manufacturing suite," said Peter DeYoung, CEO, Piramal Global Pharma. "This addition will not only enhance our production capacity and speed, but reinforce our commitment to patient centricity, too."

"By investing in Piramal Pharma Solutions' Sellersville facility, we are enabling the manufacture of FDC with exceptional precision and efficiency to meet the future commercial demand," said Douglas Kling, COO, NewAmsterdam Pharma. "We are excited to continue growing alongside our trusted partner, Piramal Pharma Solutions, and thrilled about the potential for our collaboration to benefit countless patients around the globe."

Patients aren't the only beneficiaries of this investment. Over the next five years, the suite is expected to create more than 20 new jobs at the Sellersville site, further contributing to the local economy and workforce.

By adding the new production suite, both companies can operate with greater efficiency and capacity, ultimately bringing the FDC product, if approved, to more patients in need.
