Modular expansion of the capacity of pre-filled syringes production on an existing site

KeyPlants designed and supplied the facility for an aseptic filling line suite, buffer preparation, formulation, CIP, VHP, material staging, and inspection. This (2,800 m2/30,140 SF) box-in-box modular facility supports vaccine filling operations and with the expansion, the project will support the production of 70 million pre-filled syringes annually. 
That rapid timeline, with its schedule certainty and predictable operational start-up were crucial elements both for Merck and the KeyPlants project team.
Merck B63A project has been awarded the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) Engineering Design Award 2024!

“This is one of the great advantages of offsite fabrication. It removes significant risks, reducing some timelines by up to 50%. It also removes other risks such as cost-of-capital risk, production risk and revenue risk.”
Johan Hallberg
KeyPlants’ Head of Project Management
