Wood wins
contracts for Teva Biotech facility in Germany
Wood has been awarded a $US multi-million contract by TEVA
Biotech GmbH to provide engineering, procurement, construction
management, commissioning and qualification (EPCmQ) for a new
biotechnological facility to be built in Ulm, Germany.
The plant will produce pharmaceutical ingredients from cell
cultures in a new eight-storey building to be constructed within
TEVA’s existing biotechnology production site.
Wood EAAA Capital Projects Group will execute detailed design
and procurements services for a lump sum fee, as well as
construction management and commissioning/qualification services
under a reimbursable contract. Expected completion will be 2020,
while tech transfer is planned to begin in 2021.
Prior to this award, Wood completed basic design and an
investment cost estimate for the same facility under a previous
contract, which was awarded on a competitive basis.
Robin Watson, chief executive of
Wood, said: “This contract reflects TEVA’s trust in our
ability to execute projects of this size in Germany and validates our global expertise in
the development of active pharmaceutical ingredient facilities. We
will draw upon our local knowledge, global resources, and four
decades of experience working with the world’s top drug
manufacturers to deliver a state-of-the-art facility to TEVA.”
This important contract increases Wood’s share in the
pharmaceutical market and enhances the company’s scale and
diversity in Europe.
