VÊPRES completed the expansion of ADRAGOS PHARMA's medicinal substance production site in France. This was a large-scale project executed under demanding conditions.
Creation of a new production line
The French facility of the German Adragos Pharma group, situated in Livron (Drôme), accommodates a production unit for injectable drug substances and suppositories.
The project involved the expansion of the site. VÊPRES implemented a new production line to increase capacity. Significant work was carried out between February 2023 and February 2024. This program was part of the France Relance Plan, launched by the government in 2020 to revitalize economic activity, which had been impacted by the health crisis, and to build the France of 2030.
“VÊPRES expertly managed the project's inherent complexity.”
Gaël LE SAUX, Director of the French site for ADRAGOS PHARMA
A new production line implemented in a facility with multiple constraints. (…)
The establishment of this new production line required the full expertise and meticulousness of the VÊPRES teams. As this was an extension within a very old building featuring arched vault structures, we necessarily had to adapt to the existing conditions. Consequently, the air handling network was routed externally from level R+2 down to the ground floor. The project involved the complete renovation of the structural shell and slab, along with an elevation of the upper floor's roof.
The work was carried out concurrently with our client's operations, ensuring no interruption to production. This required meticulous planning and a strong emphasis on discretion. These are demanding conditions that our teams are accustomed to managing.
Operating within a confined work and storage environment and facing asbestos removal constraints, VÊPRES successfully executed an ambitious project within the challenging context of intervening in an older building.
