Strategic cooperation between Camfil and Sinopharm, China to uplift the air filtration standards in the biopharma industry
Stockholm, Sweden, 25th May 2021 - Camfil, a global leader in air filtration equipment and clean air solutions, and Sinopharm GEPTECK announced the joint release of digital high-efficiency air supply units. Sinopharm is the largest pharmaceutical and healthcare group under the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) in China, with the core business of pharmaceutical distribution, scientific research, and manufacture of medical and biotech products. The initiative will target the application limitations of traditional air supply units and will set new milestones in the clean air-conditioning system in the biomedical industry.
With the introduction of the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Biomedical Industry” and relevant supportive policies, China's biomedical industry will usher in a “golden decade”. In recent years, the state has stepped up support for biotechnology innovation and the development of the biological industry, which has kept the swift growing momentum of China's biopharmaceutical industry; as such, it will see an increasingly bigger pharmaceutical market in the future. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has driven the demand for vaccines and other products, which will further scale up the market for China's biopharmaceutical industry.
Over the past few years, Sinopharm GEPTECK has set up an R&D-oriented development path and made the “compliance and energy saving of clean air conditioning” its key research direction. It found the defects and deficiencies in ventilation systems' operation and expected to develop a patented product “digital high-efficiency air supply unit”. As a leader in air filtration equipment, Camfil’s extensive experience in the field of high-efficiency air filtration products and life sciences has been highly recognized by Sinopharm GEPTECK. After in-depth communication and market analysis, the two parties reached a strategic cooperation and successfully developed digital high-efficiency air supply units. The digital high-efficiency air supply unit is applicable in high-risk products with rigorous cleanliness requirements in cell therapy such as vaccines, biological products, sterile preparations, sterile APIs, blood products, CAR-T, etc. It can realize real-time air volume monitoring and rapid response adjustment, realize online air volume balance and pressure difference control, lower compliance risks, and solve the intractable pressure difference in the industry. It can achieve precise air supply, reduce energy waste every day, shorten the debugging time, and achieve preventive maintenance by trend analysis, which truly realizes energy-saving and intelligence.
On May 10, Sinopharm GEPTECK and Camfil Group China successfully held the strategic cooperation ceremony and digital high-efficiency air supply unit joint release at the Camfil booth of the 60th China International Pharmaceutical Machinery Exposition. Feng Duojia, Chairman of China Association for Vaccines, Gong Hengjian, Director of Equipment and Material Committee Branch of China Association for Vaccines, Wang Yunbao, General Manager of Sinopharm GEPTECK, and Michel Moulin, Managing Director of Camfil Group China attended the event. Feng Duojia, Chairman of China Association for Vaccines, highly recognized the digital high-efficiency air supply unit and expressed his recognition and congratulations on the strategic cooperation between Sinopharm GEPTECK and Camfil Group China.
