The Adragos Livron site is thrilled to announce two major milestones that are set to redefine our production capabilities and reinforce our commitment to excellence in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Project FUTURE: A New Chapter in Ampoule Production
As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and growth, we are excited to share updates on Project FUTURE—the ambitious initiative to install a new, state-of-the-art filling line at our Livron facility. After three years of hard work, we are in the final stages of validation and qualification, with production set to begin in September.
During their visit on May 14th, our Board members were able to see firsthand the progress of this transformative project. Their enthusiasm for the evolution of Adragos Livron was palpable as they witnessed the nearly completed installation of the new production line.
This fourth filling line, located in our refurbished main building, is poised to be a flagship feature of our site. With an investment of €12.7 million, this new line will significantly boost our production capacity, allowing us to produce over 150 million ampoules per year in various formats (1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml, and 20ml). By the end of 2024, we expect to release 10 million ampoules from this line, with product transfers already underway with selected customers.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved in Project FUTURE. Your dedication and determination have been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition, and you can all take great pride in what we have achieved together.
Project PULSE: Driving Continuous Improvement
Parallel to the success of Project FUTURE, the Livron site is also advancing another exciting initiative: Project PULSE. Under the leadership of Aurélie Thénault, Operational Excellence Manager, and sponsored by Gaël Le Saux, Site Head, Project PULSE aims to enhance our production processes through the development and implementation of new tools focused on continuous improvement.
This project is centered around four key areas:
- People and Their Know-How: We are committed to welcoming and integrating new collaborators, redefining responsibilities, and ensuring ongoing training to maintain and elevate our team’s expertise.
- High Standards of Equipment: By updating our maintenance plans and improving the flow of information, we are ensuring that our equipment remains at peak performance, supported by feedback from daily production meetings.
- Reducing Deviations: We are enhancing the participation of Quality Assurance (QA) in daily production meetings, implementing new CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) follow-ups, and solving problems directly on the field.
- Teamwork: We are fostering collaboration through brief daily meetings, visual communication tools, and improved information-sharing across departments.
Workshops supported by the external consultant CUBIK have been instrumental in rolling out these initiatives, starting with the production department and soon extending to our laboratory teams.
Looking Forward
As we prepare to launch the new filling line in September and continue the implementation of Project PULSE, Adragos Livron is well on its way to setting new benchmarks in pharmaceutical production. These projects are not just about expanding our capacity but also about ensuring that we do so with the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
We are excited about the future and look forward to sharing more updates as we continue to evolve and grow. Congratulations once again to everyone involved in these transformative projects—your hard work is paving the way for a bright future at Adragos Livron.
