The Origin of our Success Story
Mammalian manufacturing facility: Biberach, Germany
As Europe’s largest biopharmaceutical multi-product plant for mammalian cell culture, our Biberach site offers the development and manufacture of therapeutic proteins and antibodies in one pilot plant and two large-scale manufacturing facilities. The site began operations in 1983, marking one of the major milestones for Boehringer Ingelheim BioXcellence™.
The single-use plant that houses bioreactors from 100 L to 500 L as well as a disposable downstream processing facility provides the entire value chain from research and development to production. Fed-batch processes in large-scale bioreactors of 15,000 L are a core technology, but Biberach also offers perfusion processes in 2,000 L bioreactors established within the commercial facilities.
