PANREAC presents a new line of excipients for the pharmaceutical industry according to the IPEC guide

PANREAC specialized in the manufacturing of reagents for laboratory analysis, excipients and bulk chemicals to be used as raw materials in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.

PANREAC, since its founding in 1941 is one of the Spanish leading companies specialized in the manufacturing of reagents for laboratory analysis, excipients and bulk chemicals to be used as raw materials in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.

PANREAC has become a benchmark company in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process for their high quality standards established from the start. Since the company’s beginnings, they offered high purity products PRS for Pharmaceutical applications, becoming later the “PRS-CODEX’, an important level of commitment with the main pharmacopeias. Over last year they have launched a new line of excipients for the pharmaceutical industry fulfilling the guidelines of IPEC.

At the moment, Panreac Pharma counts with more than 300 raw materials for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to be used as excipients or during the manufacturing process.

High Standards of Quality

The excipients are the main ingredient of the medicines in terms of volume and weight; therefore, they have an important function on the final product. For this reason, PANREAC has adopted the IPEC-PQG GMP guide for pharmaceutical excipients (2006), to ensure product consistent conformity through and integral control policy which Panreac has integrated into its manufacturing processes.

The line has an incredible detailed process description including registration, validation and release procedures and also supports supplier audits, upstream and downstream traceability and has a production sample storage. Furthermore, PANREAC has trained specialized workforce to assure the best quality and safety for the pharmaceutical industry and its potential consumers, offering maximum purity, reliability and a firm commitment to society that is finally translated into success and progress. PANREAC has built an exclusive “Clean Room Panreac Pharma” aimed just to develop excipients within strict work conditions in terms of hygiene and contamination control.

PANREAC also disposes of the ISO 9001:2008 on quality management, ISO 14002:2004 on environmental protection and OHSAS 18001:2007 on the safety and health at work, three more commitments that justify one of their main company values: be at the leading edge of quality assurance in the sector.

Fast market development

For seven decades PANREAC has succeed in satisfying the needs of their costumers thanks to their extensive experience, their constant product innovation and quality research.

Thereby, in order to respond the constant increasing market demands, PANREAC disposes of a 15000 m2 high-tech production plant near Barcelona that allows them to optimize flexibility and efficiency in their production. Moreover, since 2008 they developed a new 8000 m2 technologically equipped warehouse to provide the best service to customers and distributors.

Particularly, the company has worked hard to truly expand their products and services internationally. So, for this reason, in 1999 they opened their first two subsidiaries in France and Portugal. Lately in 2007 PANREAC bought the Italian company Nova Chimica, allowing them to get faster in the European market. In 2010 Panreac became part of the chemical division (performance polymers and fluids group) of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), an $18 billion per year U.S. industrial conglomerate.
