We introduce innovative high quality (efficacy & safe) new product considering cost effective. Our Product Development team emphasize on successful in developing & introducing quality products according to ICH guidelines and continuous improvement of new and existing product for customer satisfaction, environmental change,  technology change and other competitors.

WAREHOUSE

The warehouse of SPL is a highly functional, utility building that protects the stored goods from environmental influences in an enclosed environment. This building is equipped with security measures against various disasters like fire and if any fire occurs the technical facilities of the building will allow the fire brigade to reach inside with appropriate fire-fighting equipment. And the locking system of the stored goods will ensure controlled access to the building. Specific quarantine and sampling areas with separate storage location allows the proper containment of cephalosporin and other sensitive materials. All the materials are stored in the warehouse by pallet racking. The status of materials and products are controlled by colored status stickers with four different storage conditions e.g.

  1. Cold room (2 – 8) °C
  2. Cool cool  (8 – 15)°C
  3. Controlled room/Room temperature (15 – 25)°C
  4. Ambient condition
