Richter-Helm BioLogics has reached a further and important construction milestone during the expansion of its production site in Bovenau. We officially and ceremoniously inaugurated the new office building on May 31, 2023 together with the mayor of Bovenau, Mr. Ambrock, two years after the groundbreaking ceremony.

“The new office building offers our employees a modern open-space workplace including an in-house canteen. Next week our employees will be able to move in and start their work.” said Dr. Pohlmeyer, Managing Director at Richter-Helm.

With an invest of 95 million € Richter-Helm is going to triple the current production capacity by the installment of two additional highly flexible and fully equipped production trains with interchangeable product flows offering further capacities for late stage and commercial products. Bioreactor capacities of 300 litres and 1,500 litres will be added.

By mid of next year we will be able to start GMP-compliant production in the new site offering space for new clients and their pDNA and protein-based projects.
