Almac has Successful MHRA Inspection at its Clinical Services UK Site
October 18, 2010
Almac is once again pleased to announce the successful completion of an inspection of its Clinical Services UK facility located in Craigavon by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
The routine inspection which took place over 4 days, September 13th – September 16th was conducted by a MHRA inspector from the regulatory body who concluded that the site continues to be compliant with EU Good Manufacturing Practices, with no critical or major failures observed.
Commenting on the inspection, Paul O’Connor (Vice President, Quality) said:
“We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our inspection. These successful results are a positive reflection of all the investment Almac has made over the past few years in our facilities and recruitment of the best employees ensuring that we are a market leader and continue to deliver a high quality service. Quality is at the core of our ethos – we have three MHRA approved facilities globally including our additional FDA assessed US facilities in Audubon, PA & Durham, NC. The very high standards of quality compliance will continue with our new $120 million North American Headquarters in Souderton scheduled to open during the Fall.”
