Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing (GRAM), an injectable contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has opened a new finishing and warehouse center located at 6670 Patterson Ave S.E., in Grand Rapids, MI. The company’s fourth GMP manufacturing facility adds an additional 110,000 sq.-ft. to the company’s growing footprint. The facility houses four inspection rooms; four finishing rooms; a QC laboratory; a weigh and dispense clean room; walk-in coolers/freezers; walk-in incubators; incoming and outgoing warehouse; and multiple truck bays.
 
GRAM also invested in advanced, industry-leading finishing equipment, including a new MG America labeling machine with Dividella packaging line, and two Stevanato fully-automated inspection systems.
 
“Opening another world-class facility in a year since our last is a significant milestone. The GRAM team is extraordinary, and the ribbon cutting followed by a company-wide celebration was entirely dedicated to them,” said GRAM President and CEO Tom Ross. “As we’ve expanded and modernized, the life sciences industry has recognized something we’ve had a front row seat to – that Grand Rapids has top-notch talent driving innovation and growth in Michigan and beyond.”

A ribbon cutting was held honoring GRAM employees as they celebrate the new Patterson Avenue facility.
