We are thrilled to announce the launch of our cutting-edge ampoule filling line at Adragos’ Livron facility in France, marking a transformative milestone in Project Future.
This new line is a major investment in enhancing production capacity and furthering our commitment to quality and compliance. This new line increases our production capacity to over 160 million ampoules per year, with flexible fill volumes ranging from 1ml to 20ml. This addition underscores our dedication to meeting rising demand while exceeding regulatory standards and client expectations.
In May, Adragos’ Board members visited Livron to see the nearly completed line and were impressed by the facility’s transformation and the team’s dedication. The line is now fully operational within our newly renovated main building, positioning Adragos to lead in high-quality ampoule manufacturing.
With this fourth filling line, we’ve expanded capacity by 30%, fully meeting the regulatory requirements.
This new line also directly benefits our clients, as our CCO, Marco Gorgas emphasized: “We are always attentive to our customers’ needs to better serve their patients. We recognized not only a regulatory demand in Annex 1 but also an urgent need for greater capacity, particularly for larger-volume ampoules. That’s why we installed this fourth line, allowing us to offer a capacity of over 160 million ampoules, including options up to 20ml, tailored to serve our clients’ evolving requirements.”
One of Project Future’s greatest achievements was navigating the structural challenges of our historic Livron site, which dates back to 1918.
As Gaël Le Saux, Site Head of Livron, explained: “With the site’s origins dating back to 1918, structural constraints presented considerable challenges. However, the team adapted brilliantly, raising the roof and rebuilding key areas to fit the new cleanroom, all while keeping operations seamless. The management of this project’s complexity was truly exemplary.”
Today, November 7th, we celebrate the official inauguration of the new ampoule filling line at our Livron facility. This special event brings together Adragos’ executive team, the mayor of Livron-sur-Drôme, local journalists, and our dedicated employees who have been integral to this project’s success.
This celebration is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication and marks a new chapter of growth, innovation, and excellence for Adragos. We look forward to the new achievements and client partnerships this line will enable and are excited about the bright future ahead.
