Novartis plant in Stryków

Bulk – production:

Bulk unit in Styków (BCS) is modern, big scale facility production center focused on manufacturing of generic solid dosages drugs.

Facility opened in 2004 and originally planned for around 1billion tablets today, in the same foot print has an impressive capacity of + 10 billion.

BCS plays significant role in Novartis Technical Operations network supplying over 7 billion tablets (from around 4000 batches) on yearly basis serving two packaging facilities in Poland as well as customers in Canada, Slovenia and Germany.

Innovative approach to mature generic products and fit to purpose and standardized equipment allows efficient manufacturing processes and as consequence very competitive costing for our customers and eventually for Patients around the world.

Current product portfolio concentrates around alimentary tract and metabolism (mostly metformin) and cardiovascular (bisoprolol, ramipril and torademide).

Quality:

Quality Unit consists of Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Quality Assurance teams are located according to main responsibilities – close to Production Unit for Operational QA and in the office building for Quality System, compliance and Technical QA.

Quality Control has QC laboratories in two locations. All our laboratories (chemical, microbiological and packaging material lab) are well equipped with modern techniques fulfilling data integrity requirements. They test raw materials, API, finished products and packaging materials. Central Testing Laboratory provides analytical testing services for other manufacturers in the scope of release testing, EU re-testing and stability testing and stability management. QC Lab is certified for Lean Lab management, supported with planning tools and continuous improvement. QC team has also well-developed Analytical Science & Technology team responsible for analytical methods development, transfer and validation. The design of the laboratories is compliant with GMP and HSE requirements.

Warehouse management:

In Strykow we operate two automated warehouses dedicated to: bulk and packaging operations. The first one with a capacity of 7,3 k pallets supports bulk operations and is used for handling and storage of APIs, excipients and bulk manufactured locally prior it is shipped to Packaging Centers. The second one, with 50% bigger capacity (10,7 k pallets), started its operations only in 2015, is dedicated to packaging and used as a distribution warehouse for all products packed in Polish sites. Majority of its capacity is utilized by FDFs, the rest is consumed by primary and secondary packaging materials and bulk (both locally manufactured and imported from other suppliers). The warehouse and packaging operations are equipped with AGVs which ensure fully automated material between both operations. AGVs are also used on the production floor. 

Packaging Center:

PCS started operation in 2015 .We are now in the newest site in Novartis. We are proud that we were able to build and start first production in 1,5 year.

We are operating on 11 highly automated packaging line (Uhlmann BEC 500 and IMA C80/A81 including   serialization units USP 2 )

Currently in Strykow we have potential to increase our capacity additionally an extra 5bn tablets starting 2sc floor up to 24 lines.  Total capacity 10 bn tabs /yearly

PCS have fully automated flow of material (on production and on warehouse). We have also digital flow of production documentation. Werum Sap and WMS are connected together, operator only has to order right material on the line than process work automatically, and AGVs brings the right material to the line. The difference versus standard systems is that our AGVs are guided similar to GPS navigation. Thanks to laser on top, AGV set their position communicating with at least three reflectors in each time.

We are using an Online monitoring production execution system ANT that allow to us trace online results and problems on each line using laptop or even cell phone what ensures fast reaction.

We are also equipped in automated format parts washer that help us to reduce time of cleaning and drying.

Key numbers (2019):

• Total pallets shipped to customers (Finished Dosage Form) ~ 60 k, over 1000 trucks
• Total pallets received ~ 25
• Total number of pallet on stock ~14,5 k

The ORBIS Project is a response to the current scientific, economic and social challenges of increasing the effectiveness and productivity of the drug development process. This goal can be achieved by interdisciplinary cooperation between the academics from different fields of pharmaceutical sciences and the employees of the R&D sector in commercial enterprises.

The core of the ORBIS is constituted by international, intersectoral exchange of researchers between academic centres and pharmaceutical companies from Poland (Poznan University of Medical Sciences- Project Coordinator, Poznan University of Technology, Pharmaceutical Research Institute), Finland (University of Helsinki), Ireland (Trinity College Dublin, Applied Process Company Ltd.), Germany (Physiolution GmbH), Czech Republic (Zentiva K.S.) and Ukraine (JSC Farmak). Moreover, the Rutgers The State University of New Jersey (USA) is a partner institution of the project.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 778051.

Poznan University of Technology (PUT) was established in 1919. Currently, it is one of the leading technical universities in Poland which has become one of the most recognized landmarks of the region and even the whole country. The autonomous state institution consisting of ten faculties providing didactics for about 16 thousand students. PUT offers Bachelor, Master and Doctorate courses in Polish and English.

Moreover there are postgraduate courses and workshops for people interested in updating their technical knowledge. 13 hundred academic staff members do research and run educational tasks. To work and study at such a prestigious university as PUT, one has to effectively combine conceptual impetus, the pragmatism of an engineer, as well as interpersonal skills. PUT plays an important role in international scientific life: we take an active part in scientific exchange and international projects and cooperate with many companies and research institutions both in Poland and abroad.

Poznan University of Medical Sciences (PUMS) is recognized as the largest educational, research and clinical centre in Poland. One of the top priorities of its Faculty of Pharmacy is the expansion of various forms of collaboration in the areas of teaching, training and science with foreign centres and enterprises worldwide through joint research, participation in international programs, organization and participation in scientific conferences. PUMS has experience in both non-profit and commercial research collaboration with Polish pharma & cosmetic industry, and this potential will be strengthened by the future establishment of Centre for Innovative Pharmaceutical Technologies (2022).  

The university’s drive and ambition towards expanding the network of pharmaceutical cooperation is best demonstrated by the ORBIS project (grant no. 778051 awarded by Research Executive Agency under MSCA RISE action), where PUMS leads and coordinates the work of 6 academic institutions and 4 pharmaceutical companies from 7 countries.
