Datwyler is planning a FirstLine plant in Satara, Maharashtra, the company's first facility outside Europe. Rahul Dev, Vice President, Datwyler India, in an interaction with Usha Sharma, discloses the company's corporate plans and strategies

Recently, Datwyler has announced to open its FirstLine production site in Satara. Tell us more about the plant, its investments, production activities commencement, manpower etc.How is it going to cater to the domestic as well as international markets

The FirstLine production facility is specially designed to conform to the highest industry standards, exclusively producing components for healthcare applications. Datwyler manufactures pharmaceutical rubber components such as vial stoppers or syringe plungers in a fully integrated Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment. The company’s most complex rubber components are vial and syringe components from the Omniflex family, which prevent any interaction with the drugs due to their total fluoropolymer coating. The first state-of-the-art FirstLine production site is in Alken, Belgium. The FirstLine plant in India will be the first facility outside Europe and simultaneously Datwyler’s most modern production site. Spread over an area of 24,000 sq metre, the facility will be integrated in the existing premise and will operate in 2017. The site will also offer additional 24,000 sq metre for future growth. The new facility is a major investment and part of the company’s commitment to India and the Asian markets.

How will this project work in line with PM Modi's 'Make in India' initiative? The company has a record to grow inorganically and the Satara plant will be the first greenfield project. Do you plan to quit/sideline the inorganic way to grow?

PROSOLV® 730: Directly compressible carrier for lipophilic ingredients

Nearly 90 % of molecules in the discovery pipeline and 40 % of drugs with market approval are poorly water soluble. Poor aqueous solubility can lead to low bioavailability resulting in insufficient plasma levels. Oil-based preparations of these APIs, as well as oily APIs in general, present challenges in terms of solid dosage form manufacturing. PROSOLV® 730 was designed to provide a solution to the formulation of BCS class II and IV APIs. It enables the formulation of lipidic APIs or API-loaded lipid systems by facilitating the adsorption of oil, creating a free-flowing, compactible system that can be further formulated. PROSOLV® 730 is a co-processed, high-functionality excipient comprising MCC SILICA COPOVIDONE
