The future of pharmaceutical production
an interview with ISPE Europe Manager Dr. Thomas Zimmer, ISPE
The requirements for the production of pharmaceuticals are high. On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies have to comply with strict purity requirements. Secondly, they should document all processes in detail. The International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) is a non-profit organization with approximately 20,000 members worldwide that combines professional proximity to pharmaceutical manufacturing, production techniques and standards, and regulations. Thorsten Schüller spoke with Dr. Thomas Zimmer, Vice President of European Operations at ISPE, about current challenges in pharmaceutical production in the run-up to the ISPE Europe annual meeting, which was held in Frankfurt at the beginning of May.
