Manufacturing site
Key to the site are two production plants, which are responsible for the efficient manufacture and packaging of most of the products we sell in the market. These include a pharmaceutical production plant in which small molecule drug products are produced for primary care, as well as a biotech production plant dedicated to the production of active biotechnological ingredients. It is in the biotech plant where we manufacture cenegermin, the first recombinant human Nerve Growth Factor (rhNGF) treatment for Neurotrophic Keratitis, a rare degenerative eye disease.
The L’Aquila site also features warehousing, administrative offices and other facilities including research and development laboratories dedicated to identifying new therapies for rare diseases.
History of the L’Aquila production site
Since 1993 over 200 million Euro has been invested in the L’Aquila site. Today it boasts many dedicated facilities that enable Dompé to conduct breakthrough research as well as produce and distribute high-quality drugs to the market.
