Our facilities 

Located in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, our fully-integrated facility is purpose-built for the production of your APIs and intermediates.

Facilities built for quality and engineered for consistency

Situated across more than 120 acres in Pisgah Forest, our site comprises three cGMP manufacturing suites, R&D and analytical laboratories, quality and administrative offices, as well as secure warehouse and utility areas.

Each space is purpose-designed to maintain control, efficiency and traceability throughout the API lifecycle, from laboratory development to commercial production.

Administration and quality labs

  • QC laboratories with advanced instrumentation, including HPLC, GC, FTIR, UV-Vis, TOC and ICH stability chambers for method development and validation.
  • QA systems manage SOP lifecycle, deviations, risk assessments and change control under 21 CFR Part 210/211.
  • Proven history of successful FDA and DEA inspections.
  • Administrative offices ensure smooth coordination between operations, quality and client communication.

R&D and manufacturing 

  • R&D labs for process development, non-GMP synthesis and scale-up.
  • Three cGMP manufacturing suites with reactor capacities from 80 L to 8,000 L (glass-lined and Hastelloy).
  • Manufacturing suites classified as Class I, Division 2 hazardous environments for safety and containment.
  • Key operations: reactions, distillation, centrifuging, filtration, drying, milling and sifting.
  • Expertise in complex chemistry and controlled substances (Schedules I–V).

Warehouse and utilities

  • Controlled substances storage vault.
  • Robust utilities: hot oil boilers, chillers, vacuum pumps, HEPA-filtered HVAC systems.
  • Temperature-controlled areas, with a temperature-controlled warehouse under construction.
  • USP/EP purified water system delivers 6GPM at 18.2 Mohms.
  • Mechanical rooms and utility zones are fully segregated from production for safety and compliance.

Expanding our capabilities

Your molecule is our priority. That’s why we’re expanding.

Construction is underway on new facilities that will extend our expertise beyond API manufacturing to include sterile injectable and liquid oral dosage form production.
