Our production system meets the international GMP principles, the regulations of the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and those issued by the American FDA, the most stringent authority in the field of licensing drugs. Production of active pharmaceutical ingredients is an important field in the activity of EGIS PLC (and its legal predecessors). As a result of professional experience accumulated through the efforts of the last decades and the continuous modernization of the facilities, competitiveness of the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients has been maintained as it is well proved by successful exports and the good results of the national and international official controls. At present, in this field of activity, where approximately 650 people are employed, 50 different active pharmaceutical ingredients and their intermediates are produced a year. The wide scale of products can be characterized by the gradual renewal and replacement of individual products. Production of active pharmaceutical ingredients has been able to respond to the challenges of quality assurance and environment protection of the recent past successfully.
