PRESS RELEASE

 

SERUM INSTITUTE OF INDIA BUILDS CGMP FACILITY

 

17 January 2013

 

This facility, targeted for completion in 2014, will be the largest dedicated CRM197 production facility in the world with annual capacity to produce in excess of 50 kilograms of cGMP grade CRM197

 

Bangalore: Pfenex's reagent proteins division announced that its CRM197 manufacturing partner, Serum Institute of India, has commenced the construction of a new large scale cGMP CRM197 production facility.

 

 This facility, targeted for completion in 2014, will be the largest dedicated CRM197 production facility in the world with annual capacity to produce in excess of 50 kilograms of cGMP grade CRM197. The additional capacity will enable reagent proteins to meet the increasing global demand for CRM197 and to continue to support conjugate vaccine products currently being developed by its partners.

 

Serum Institute utilizes Pfenex expression technology as the production platform, enabling high titers of this high quality conjugate vaccine carrier protein. The Pfenex CRM197 currently being manufactured at Serum Institute is also being used by Serum Institute as the carrier protein for its own internal pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine programs.

 

"CRM197 is increasingly being used by the global vaccine development community, and this new facility allows us to not only meet the growing needs of our current partners, but also allows us to support new research and development efforts," said Dr Bertrand Liang, CEO of Pfenex.

 

"By leveraging our long standing relationship with Serum Institute of India, we are able to further provide our partners with access to high quality vaccine components produced using the powerful Pfenex Expression Technology, all the way from early stage research through the clinic and into commercialization," he added.

 

 

SERUM INSTITUTE OF INDIA LIMITED ACQUIRES BILTHOVEN BIOLOGICALS OF NETHERLANDS

 

JULY 4, 2012

 

Serum Institute of India Limited, India’s largest vaccine company, has acquired Bilthoven Biologicals of Netherlands. Through the acquisition, the Serum Institute will get access to technology and expertise for making the Injectable Polio Vaccine (Salk), a unique capability and expertise that is currently possessed by a mere three other vaccine manufacturing plants globally.

 

This first overseas acquisition by the Poonawalla Group will also provide the Group and Serum Institute, an important manufacturing base in Europe, with access to the important European and US markets.

 

Bilthoven Biologicals is located in the city of Bilthoven which is 45 minutes from Amsterdam. The manufacturing facility is spread over 20 acres and employs over 200 people. The facility has a manufacturing capacity of over 20 million doses of vaccines in a year and the company sells these vaccines to Europe and developing countries.

 

Announcing the acquisition, Dr Cyrus Poonawalla, chairman of the Poonawalla Group and Serum Institute said, “The Poonawalla Group, as indeed Serum has constantly striven hard to provide the highest quality vaccines at affordable prices to the world. This acquisition will significantly strengthen our position in the global vaccines market, while giving us access to the technology and production facility of Injectable Polio Vaccine (Salk), which is the only logical solution available to the world for the eradication of polio. More importantly it also gives the Poonawalla Group an important operational and strategic beachhead in Europe and the US, with the important manufacturing base in the Netherlands. This will also significantly enhance our earlier offerings in the pediatric vaccines segment including DPT, Measles and MMR vaccines where we are the global leaders today.”

 

 

Serum Institute, the Group’s flagship company, has business dealings with Bilthoven Biologicals for the last 35 years. Bilthoven Biologicals was owned by the Govt. of The Netherlands.

 

Serum Institute of India has acquired 100 per cent shares of the Company from the Govt. of Netherlands. Chairman of the Group, Cyrus Poonawalla, said that “The total deal size is 80 million euros or (Rs 550 crore). We have already paid 32 million euros. The remaining amount will have to be paid over a period of two to three years because of the liabilities and assets, which are pending.”

 

Sharing the future outlook for the company, Adar Poonawalla, executive director of the Poonawalla Group and Serum Institute said, “The Poonawalla Group is committed to investing over  Euros 70 - 80  million over  the next three years to augment the infrastructure and enhance the manufacturing capacity of the Bilthoven’s facilities. Serum Institute has one of the world’s largest Vaccine manufacturing facilities at Pune, India and with this second manufacturing facility based in Europe, the company aims to access the developed markets of Europe and USA for its existing and future products in the pipeline.”

 

 

MEETING MINUTES WITH BILL GATES

 

Charity has different faces, and the Microsoft founder wears one defined by humility, found the Poonawallas as they showed him around their vaccine manufacturing facility.

 

Sunday, June 3, 2012

 

It is easy to be overawed by a man like Bill Gates, especially when he is your private guest on his second visit to the city. Healthcare, sanitation and education for the underprivileged across the world have been his priority since Gates unconsciously declared himself as one of the rare billionaire philanthropists. Once the Poonawallas, his hosts in the city last Thursday, got over their awe and admiration for the man, they decided to watch him closely, if only to learn what makes him tick.

 

Time management is Gates’s equity, his hosts decided

 

“Anybody can donate money for charity but this man is not doing only that. He is educating himself by spending his precious time visiting every village which is on his radar of providing healthcare and sanitation facilities,” said Cyrus Poonawalla. “Humility is his hallmark. The most important lesson I learnt from him is that charity has different faces. For him it is saving lives of children in the Third World where poverty does not allow them to get even basic healthcare. The time that he spent at Serum Institute of India was a memorable experience for all of us. Gates had added a few more admirers to his already huge list. Let me be honest, it simply was a humbling experience for me,” said the man who Gates considers as one of his “seven vaccine heroes”.

Cyrus was not alone in being left awestruck by the modesty shown by the former chief of Microsoft. His son Adar, who was constantly by Gates’s side as he showed him around Serum, was clearly mesmerised by the 57-year-old guest’s passion for philanthropy.

 

“Gates has developed a passion for saving lives around the world mainly, his interest being the Third World, particularly. He wants to source affordable vaccines for the 20 most common diseases, which he believes can save millions of lives,” Adar revealed.

 

Adar added, “His quiet demeanor speaks. It projects the face of a man who is on a mission. What struck me most during our interaction was his eye for detail and his belief that every minute is ‘very precious’, hence never to be wasted.”

 

Before he arrived, the Poonawallas thought that they might interest him in other ideas and happenings around the country. Gates, though, was focused. Right now medicines and vaccines were his objective; and he was more interested in learning how fast the company could manufacture the new Injectable Polio Vaccine and what clinical trials were in progress to create more vaccines.

 

“I don’t know about anybody else, but Gates has surely taught me that apart from donating money, there can many more ways in which charity can be done. How does a man like him work so tirelessly for the development of medicines, I wondered. I was really curious to know where he draws such bountiful energy from, and most importantly, how does he keep his motivation going,” said Adar.

 

Adar recalled that when they were at dinner, savouring some silken smooth butter chicken and naan, Gates only wished to speak about healthcare and not the origins of one of the country’s favourite food exports to the West.

 

“Watching him at such close quarters I am now inspired to do more for the needy in Pune and the surrounding areas. After the Azim Premji-organised get-together in Bangalore, attended by a few high-ranking Indians on the Forbes List on Friday in honour of Gates, we have decided to acquire a hospital and build new ones too around the city.

 

We are already funding a few schools in the rural areas but now we want to implement the Premji model for building primary schools on a larger scale as the cost is less,” said Adar.

 

No chance to indulge in small talk and valuable frivolities, the Poonawallas, we are sure will be astute in the way they divide their time between work and pleasure, thanks to the Gates touch.

 

 

BILL GATES VISITS SERUM INSTITUTE, MEETS VACCINE HERO POONAWALLA

 

Friday, June 1, 2012

 

Pune: Bill Gates on Thursday visited the Serum Institute of India in Pune, met its CMD Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla whom he referred to as one of the seven vaccine heroes, and evinced interest in several products it is developing, “It’s great to be here and there are many new products the Foundation is interested in,” he Microsoft founder and co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said in an interaction with the media.

 

Gates is likely to cement ties with the Institute for developing an injectable polio vaccine, more effective than polio drops.

 

Gates expressed interest in the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine being developed at the Institute. “There is a need for cost-effective vaccines against various infectious diseases and the Foundation is interested in several new products developed at the Serum Institute...,” Gates said.

 

The Institute which exports to 130 nations is also developing affordable rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines for Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI). Clinical trials are being funded by the Foundation. “Serum has played an important role in offering the vaccines at low prices,” Gates said.

 

“Cyrus Poonawalla is among the seven vaccine heroes and is a multiple winner with vaccines against measles and others. He has deeply affected the vaccine world and people are dependent on the quality work done at Serum,” Gates said.

 

SERUM AND MERCK ANNOUNCE COLLABORATION TO DEVELOP AND EXPAND GLOBAL ACCESS TO PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE

August 5, 2011


Serum Institute of India Limited and Merck (known outside the United States and Canada as MSD), have entered into an agreement to develop and commercialize a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) for use in the emerging and developing world countries of the world


Pneumococcal disease is a bacterial infection that causes pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and other life-threatening ailments. Current estimates show that at least 1 million children die of pneumococcal disease every year, including mostly young children in developing countries.

 

"Serum Institute is committed to improving access to and affordability of vaccines for children throughout the world. In working closely with Merck in the development of this collaboration it became clear that we share parallel public health goals and that our passion for getting vaccines to everyone who needs them is made even stronger by working together".

 

Dr. C. S.  Poonawalla, Chairman and Managing Director

 

Together, Merck and Serum will form a Product Advisory Committee to oversee the activities required to develop and seek approval for PCV and pursue World Health Organization (WHO) prequalification. Under the terms of the agreement, Merck, through an affiliate, will receive specific rights to market PCV in certain designated territories and Serum will receive specific rights in other territories. Both companies will contribute to the development and manufacture of PCV. Specific financial details of this agreement are confidential. This collaboration does not impact the on-going pneumococcal vaccine development programs in both the organizations.

 

"Working side by side with Serum gives us the best chance of developing and bringing a product to the market that will help to protect more babies and children," said. Expanding vaccine access to emerging and developing markets is a top priority and we feel strongly that this collaboration will be a giant step toward impacting the devastation of pneumococcal disease".
