    Softigel focuses on difficult-to-manufacture drugs and aims to capitalise on business opportunities in generic and highly regulated pharmaceutical markets, especially in niche segments with limited competition.

    Strong analytical support and expertise in new molecular entities (NME) for highly regulated markets are also available. The company houses a fully integrated product development services (PDS) unit.

    Drug dosage systems

    Softigel offers access to delivery systems such as novel technology for fixed dose combinations Unigel and Versagels, which provides a new approach to soft capsules without animal derivatives.

    Other products include G-Tabs gelatin coated tablets, twist-off capsules, nutritional gummies, omega-3 high-concentrates, tablets, powders, creams, ointments, gels, and hard gel capsules.

    The company provides pharmaceutical regulatory support and value-added marketing services. All of its plants fully comply with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP).

    The softgel facility is approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Softigel delivers services to a range of pharmaceutical clients, including Pfizer, Sanofi, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Bayer.

    The manufacturing facilities cover product lifecycle phases from early development to commercial and offer single and multiple drug dosage systems.

    Procaps’ pilot plant facility for the manufacturing of experimental and pilot batches for softgels, liquids, and tablets uses equipment that replicates lab-scale and small-scale non-good manufacturing practices (GMP) and GMP batches, up to full-scale commercial GMP.

    • Enhanced bioavailability for low-solubility / low-permeability compounds
    • Life cycle management extension for drug products
    • Low-dose and high-potency compounds
    • Uniformity of dosage
    • Lipid formulations, including improved, self-emulsifying active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) formulations
