"The SPAH design, with its embedded control hub, is functional and efficient platform for implementing PAT. ABB's automation solutions can be seamlessly integrated with SPAH to provide manufacturers with unrivalled operational performance, productivity and cost efficiencies. Moreover, SPAH's practical and ergonomic design template provides a highly repeatable plant that can be easily validated."

Scott Spencer, Group VP Life Sciences

"Beacons is drawing from its years of experience as a generic drug producer and contract manufacturer to come out with the SPAH concept. Material flow, people flow and GMP have been well thought-through to provide a cost-effective and highly repeatable plant that can be easily validated."

Yeoh Soon Teong, Asst VP, ABB Industry Pte Ltd, Singapore

"Foster Wheeler is delighted to have worked with Beacons Pharmaceuticals to develop the design of the SPAH concept.
We believe that this approach to plant layout can bring many benefits to the industry at a time when there is a major focus on cost effective production and increasing interfacing of R&D with manufacturing."

Michael Brocklebank, Manager - Pharmaceuticals, Foster Wheeler, Singapore

"Wayahead's dispensing system, called 3WS, can be easily installed and validated, to FDA level, into any facility using the SPAH design. With SPAH, hardware and software installation, user training, and validation can be completed in less than four weeks."

John Nesbitt, Director, Wayahead Systems Pty Ltd, Australia

"The SPAH design streamlines the integration of process equipment with the facility, resulting in the enhanced ease of equipment installation, maintenance and retrofit. We believe that SPAH has potential to become a design standard for secondary manufacturing facilities. Whenever "total GMP design" has to meet "time to market", the SPAH concept is superior."

Manfred Pett, V.P. Engineering, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, Germany

"Far East Organization is pleased to work with Beacons Pharmaceuticals to provide an innovative total solution package for its customers. Our partnership will further enhance the strengths of SPAH in enabling pharmaceutical manufacturers to develop their facilities more efficiently and cost-effectively."
