Piramal Pharma Solutions Commemorates 20th Anniversary at Morpeth Facility with Procurement of Korsch X3 Tablet Press
The custom Korsch X3 press enhances Morpeth site’s capacity for highly potent tablets with higher containment and greater throughput, supporting clinical and commercial scale production.
Piramal Pharma Solutions commissioned the Korsch X3 press at its Morpeth site to boost high-potency tablet production, with the unit now fully qualified and in active use.
Morpeth recently marked 20 years of manufacturing excellence, prompting the need for advanced technology to handle growing late-phase and commercial demand for diverse tablet sizes.
The X3 features front and dual-side glove ports with misting systems to safeguard staff from airborne contaminants, while two customized turrets support 25mm tablet manufacturing.
Peter DeYoung, CEO, Piramal Global Pharma, said the expansion strengthens their ability to serve patients in therapeutic areas where high-potency materials are essential for complex therapies.
This investment signals a commitment to a future where more patients benefit from Piramal's advanced capabilities across its 17 global manufacturing facilities serving over 100 countries.
