The company rented a room with an area of about 500 sq. m at Alabushevo site, where it placed a workshop for the secondary packaging and production of drugs for the treatment of complications of bronchial asthma and orphan diseases, including Gaucher’s disease and cystic fibrosis,” Vladimir Efimov said.
He noted that the first batches of products have already been sent to pharmaceutical institutions. It is planned that the workshop will produce more than 150,000 units of products annually and will reach its full capacity by the end of 2024. “Today, the company’s customers are dozens of Moscow public and private medical institutions,” Vladimir Efimov said.
