At last month's Informex, exhibitors announced expansions and new partnerships relating to contract manufacturing of active pharmaceuticals and intermediates and fine-chemicals supply.
Contract manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates unveiled capacity and service expansions at Informex, the exhibition of custom manufacturers, which was held in San Francisco last month. Below are some highlights from the show.
Ash Stevens (Detroit, MI) was recently honored for achievement in environmental, health, safety, and security (EHS&S) performance. At the annual dinner of the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA), the US-based trade association representing custom manufacturers, in December, Ash Stevens received two Silver Awards for its commitment to performance improvements in EHS&S Planning and Operations as well as Employee Training and Engagement. Those are two of the five core principles of SOCMA's ChemStewards program, which ensures compliance and continuous improvement in the area of EHS&S performance. The 2009 SOCMA Awards captures EHS&S activities during calendar 2008. The awards are based on an individual facility's achievements toward meeting and exceeding one of the core principles of the ChemStewards program.
