Multisorb sets up mfg facility in Hyderabad

​Hyderabad: US-based Multisorb, a provider of oxygen and moisture management technologies, on Thursday opened its manufacturing facility in GMR Multiproduct SEZ at Hyderabad Airport. This facility, established with an investment of $6 million, will be capable of producing the company’s active packaging components, all industry-leading solutions for providing chemical and physical stability in pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

This new facility has completed validation and will begin production and delivery of Multisorb’s sorbent products in the coming weeks. The location was strategically selected to serve India’s growing Pharmaceutical sector, allowing Multisorb to better serve its India-based customers by dramatically shortening order-fulfillment lead time, the company said.

“Ultimately this leads to a more nimble relationship between Multisorb and its India-based customers. Our new location also provides the additional capacity necessary to accommodate growth at the pace of our customers’ needs,” said Eric Armenat, President and Chief Executive Officer, Multisorb. Multisorb is a business of Filtration Group, the global leader in advanced filtration solutions across life science and industrial applications.

GMR Hyderabad Aviation SEZ Limited (GHASL) constructed the humidity-controlled facility and handed over to Multisorb on 38-year lease. CEO of GMR Airport Land Development Aman Kapoor said: “We welcome Multisorb of Filtration Group, the global market leaders in active packaging solutions.”
