The Flamma Group, a global CDMO of New Chemical Entities (NCEs) and late stage intermediates for innovator companies, has successfully passed its first U.S. FDA inspection of its Flamma USA site in Malvern, PA,

The pre-approval inspection (PAI) took place over the course of four days for an API that the Flamma USA site will manufacture for a global pharmaceutical company. The inspection covered the entire facility including the manufacturing equipment and quality system, and the site was found to be compliant with all FDA GMP requirements.

The Malvern, PA site was acquired by Flamma in late 2019. The company has since invested more than $3 million to align it with Flamma’s manufacturing and quality standards. The site is focused on early-stage small molecule drug development and manufacture of APIs whether they be small volume, orphan and niche indication APIs.

“This is a tremendous achievement for Flamma USA. Since day one, the site’s goal has been to help customers move their molecules into the clinic for Ph. I studies and onward as quickly as possible,” said Gianmarco Negrisoli, President of Flamma USA. “Our team has worked very hard to bring the site to this level. This milestone serves as a testament to our enduring commitment to the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance. It affirms our continued capability to strengthen our global presence as a trusted, stable, and dependable partner.”

The Flamma USA site consists of 5 GMP kilo-labs, GMP HPAPI suite, GMP pilot plant, GMP clean room along with an R&D lab with 16 hoods.
