Pharmaceutical

The pharmaceutical industry includes the manufacture, extraction, processing, purification, and packaging of chemical materials to be used as medication for humans or animals. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is divided into two major stages. The first stage, which is typically referred to as primary processing or manufacture, is the production of the active ingredient or drug. The second stage, secondary processing, is the conversion of the active drugs into products suitable for administration.

Throughout each and every stage the importance of contamination elimination cannot be over emphasised and it is here where Vulcan offer quality products and fit for purpose.
