Diverse sterile and non-sterile pharmaceutical forms are manufactured there with the highest quality standards, among which liquid injectables, tablets, capsules, powders, syrups, drops, suspensions, vaginal suppositories, creams, ointments, and gels, as well as the exclusive line of DERMUR cosmoceuticals. At present, approximately 10,000,000 units/year are manufactured in it, destined both to the domestic market and for export.

CELSIUS employs about 270 people, including manufacturing, administrative, commercial, laboratory and development personnel, among whom, a large percentage have university degrees. It is a company policy to periodically provide training and updating programs to its personnel. At all times standardized and documented operating procedures are followed, in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (G.M.P.) for pharmaceutical products. In addition, it uses a large machine park which is permanently renewed.

The plant has an air conditioning, purification and renewal system which allows to reach, in its different sectors, areas with class 10,000 and 100,000 air, required for the manufacturing of the different products. In addition, a system of generation and control of differential pressures between common spaces and manufacturing rooms, as well as between the plant"s different sectors, guarantees at all times the optimum conditions to prevent cross-contamination.

It also features a system of generation of demineralized water from potable running water, for the manufacturing of all the non-sterile pharmaceu- tical forms. In turn, this demineralized water feeds a distillation system producing distilled water for the manufacturing of injectable specialties.

CELSIUS has started a new expansion stage with the acquisition of GENA S.A. pharmaceutical company in Ecuador, and the inauguration of the new offices and laboratory for its ATGen-Diagnóstica Division in LATU"s lot.
