Engineering for the future of pharma
The pharmaceutical industry is at a tipping point. While scientific breakthroughs are reshaping the therapeutic landscape, geopolitical uncertainty, climate pressures, and supply chain disruptions are forcing companies to rethink their manufacturing capabilities. This calls for a new generation of facilities: resilient, energy-efficient, and ready for complex processes. Sweco helps pharma and biotech players make that shift with thoughtful process design and a future-proof engineering approach that combines sustainability, quality, and speed.
Pharma industry in full transformation
The world is changing fast and the pharmaceutical sector is changing with it. Geopolitical instability and fragile trade routes are driving a renewed focus on local production and robust supply chains. The COVID crisis has thereby highlighted the importance of reshoring in the EU and US: reliable and resilient supply chains are crucial for public health.
At the same time, technological innovation is accelerating. GLP-1 medication is reshaping the obesity landscape, while biologicals and advanced therapies (ATMPs) are creating new opportunities in patient care. And the sustainable transition? That one is now also at the top of pharma’s agenda. With the European Green Deal policy in sight, pharma companies are committed to CO2 reduction across the board: from Scope 1 to Scope 3. This includes things like electric boilers, energy-efficient HVAC systems, or more compactly designed cleanrooms.
From process to production: engineers with sector knowledge
Sweco supports pharma companies at every stage of their process and plant design. Whether producing small or large molecules, or fill & finish, we design production facilities that meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance.
Our process architects and process engineers work closely together to optimally align layout, flows, and compartmentalisation with your operational objectives. Whether you opt for single-use technology for flexibility or stainless steel for scalability: we engineer solutions tailored to your process, today and tomorrow.
Result: more efficient buildings, faster production
Our integrated approach leads to installations that function perfectly within their context: ergonomic for your employees, safe for patients, efficient in space and energy use. That way, you gain not only performance, but also time, and medicines get to those who need them faster.
