Production Facility
Key to the business is that SpectrumX holds a manufacturing license for the various products. This means that us and Spectrum Antimicrobials are the only two companies in the world with the technical know-how and rights to produce the unique formulations.
We worked with specialists in both the facility and process design, to identify significant process savings and drive energy efficient to allow the company to achieve a lower unit cost and compete on price point with traditional alcohol based sanitisers.
Manufacturing in the UK provides SpectrumX with control over production which, it would not have if sourcing the finished products direct from Spectrum Antimicrobials
To execute these licenses SpectrumX has a long lease on a 16,000 sq ft manufacturing unit in Cheshire in the North West of England. This area has excellent road, air, sea and rail links making it easy for the distribution of our products to the UK and beyond and as such this facility serves as the production site for UK and EU distribution. The fit out has being undertaken on a phased basis to align with our overall delivery strategy as follows:
- Phase 1 – non-pharma manufacturing – complete
- Phase 1A – facility administration spaces – complete
- Phase 2 – pharmaceutical manufacturing – ongoing
