Join SAFC for the 23rd annual ESACT Meeting taking place in Lille, France from June 23rd through June 26th at Booth # A3.

SAFC is excited to be the silver sponsor this year. We have an action packed schedule that our team has worked on to offer colleagues with a look into SAFC as part of their ESACT experience. We will kick things off on Sunday, June 23rd from 11:15 – 13:15 p.m. at the Artois Room with a presentation on:

SAFC is once again onsite at CPhI Japan as both an exhibitor (Booth I-16) and presenter.

In fact, SAFC was honored last year by event organizer, UBM Live, as part of a group of 47 exhibitors that have attended CPhI Japan since 2002!

Japan has established itself as the leader of Asia’s pharmaceutical industry. It is also the world’s second largest market known for innovative technologies and products discoveries. CPhI Japan is unique in its ability to bring together key global players in the industry, including major suppliers and influencers, in a unique platform that offers direct access to this flourishing market.

Outsourcing Offers a New Way to Move Ahead

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

There was a great amount of discussion about the status of outsourcing in the pharmaceutical industry as 2012 came to a close; the discussion continues in 2013, perhaps with more attention than ever before. While the outsourcing trend is on an uptick, many companies that do choose to outsource limit the functions that they are willing to outsource. Often, the goal is to fill the most dramatic gaps they perceive in their core competencies while still keeping as much process in house. However, there is much more that a CMO can offer when fully integrated into pharma processes. (more…)

Supply Chain Security Thrives with PharmaGrade

Friday, April 5th, 2013

Supply chain security continues to be a major customer issue across various industries. In the biopharma industry specifically, the public outcry for quality and transparency has caused a great deal of change in the global regulatory environment and in many company’s approach to the way they do business. SAFC is no exception.

As a company that likes to stay ahead of the trends, quality has long been a focus area for SAFC. From employing various global teams dedicated to quality and supply chain transparency, to re-categorizing product offerings to include fully validated products, SAFC has been busy working on answering this industry need.

Originally launched in 2012, SAFC’s PharmaGrade portfolio addresses the need for greater supply chain transparency and enhanced quality for biopharmaceutical manufacturing applications. Products in the PharmaGrade portfolio are provided with full documentation of manufacturing history, and are compliant with either GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards or the SAFC Elite Quality grade standards. All PharmaGrade products are quality assurance reviewed and released, and include applicable change control notification, plus a dedicated product support team.

Here, SAFC’s own Beth Ann McLane, product manager for enhanced quality, talks supply chain security with Cynthia Challener of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manufacturing, and Marketplace Report. The following feature titled Strategies for Achieving Biopharmaceutical Supply Chain, takes a look into how SAFC is ensuring supply-chain transparency and quality for raw materials with the PharmaGrade line.   

The PharmaGrade line recently expanded to include 20 new products, and SAFC expects the portfolio to double in size by the end of 2013.The full press release on the expansion can be found by clicking here.
