Almac Announces Investment in Singapore to Enhance Cold Chain Facility for Global Pharmaceutical Sponsors and Patients

Almac Clinical Services has announced a significant investment to develop a new frozen facility in Singapore which will quadruple the existing facility’s floorspace and provide an additional 480 storage locations.

This strategic investment aims to enhance Almac’s service offerings in the APAC region, ensuring that global pharmaceutical sponsors receive optimal support across their clinical supply chain.

This development will expand the existing infrastructure to accommodate both production and logistics activities. The state-of-the-art facility will operate at temperatures ranging from -25°C to -15°C and will include a dedicated secondary production room with frozen conditions, further enhancing Almac’s capabilities in managing temperature-sensitive clinical supplies.

Almac is also expanding its range of global secondary clinical supply packaging and temperature-controlled clinical supply and logistics services. These enhancements will support industry trends and the growing demand for advanced cold chain management solutions.

Commenting on the investment Kevin Cheong, Director of Clinical Operations at Almac Clinical Services, said: “The growth of biologics and the complexities surrounding their development and use, necessitates continuous improvement. Biologics are highly sensitive to environmental conditions, including temperature, light, pH, and oxygen levels. Even minor deviations can lead to significant changes in the stability efficacy, and safety of these products.

This investment will significantly enhance our ability to support our global pharmaceutical sponsors and underscores our dedication to providing the best service offering to clients, ensuring that patients receive the right drugs, at the right time and in the right condition.

Our commitment to advancing human health drives us to continually improve all our services and infrastructure. Securing the best possible outcome for patients worldwide is the reason we Supply with Care™.”
