Greenfield Global Ireland Awarded EXCiPACT Certification As Pharmaceutical Supplier

Portlaoise Site Earns Respected Third-Party Endorsement of its High-Quality Excipient Products

March 2, 2023 – Greenfield Global Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer and distributor of high-quality alcohols and specialty solvents, announced today that its Portlaoise, Ireland site has earned EXCiPACT certification, making this global leader the only high-purity specialty alcohol and bioprocess solution manufacturer in the country to be certified.

“The EXCiPACT certification process is rigorous, and taking these extra steps shows our commitment to superior products and services that — in the hands of our customers — go on to improve the health of people around the world,” said Ken Finegan, Managing Director, Greenfield Global Ireland. “At Greenfield, we are proud to make safety and quality our priority in all our systems. This new certification adds value by helping our life-science customers reduce their audit burden and costs.”

EXCiPACT certification independently assures life sciences customers that Greenfield Global Ireland meets market requirements to supply its Pharmco® excipient products in Ireland, Europe and around the world.

To meet the highest patient safety and public health standards and to qualify suppliers such as Greenfield Global, regulatory authorities require excipient users to conduct audits based on appropriate Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Distribution Practices (GDP). Regulators accept a third-party audit if a creditable body, such as EXCiPACT, issues the certificate.

“EXCiPACT certification is a trustworthy and independent reassurance that Greenfield meets the precise standards needed to remain leaders in supplying excipient products to the pharmaceutical industry,” said Finegan.
