We're Life Engineers
Fabtech designs, builds and qualifies the facilities where medicines are made. We have delivered 760+ global projects and 2000+ installations in 65+ countries. We also supply the equipment that goes inside a plant. A customer can give us an empty plot of land and receive a running facility that has been inspected. A customer can also buy a single machine. Either way, they deal with the same company.
- We build greenfield sites (new plants on empty land) and brownfield expansions (additions to existing plants).

What we do
Fabtech Technologies Limited is based in Mumbai. It is an export house.
It works for customers in international markets, in three industries: pharma, biopharma and healthcare.
We build oral solid dosage plants (tablets and capsules), sterile injectables plants, biotech plants and API plants.
The work also covers process equipment, purified water and water-for-injection systems, HVAC and clean-air equipment, and containment for potent compounds. One company does the design, holds the process knowledge and supplies the equipment.
This is what makes a single point of accountability possible. Each kind of plant has its own page under the industries we build for.
We do four kinds of work: turnkey projects, process equipment, water and clean air. Customers usually buy them together.
Turnkey projects. We take pharmaceutical, biopharma and healthcare facilities from concept to handover on one contract. This covers design, construction, equipment and qualification.
The facilities we build are GMP and WHO compliant. In Kenya, Lab & Allied was a turnkey project in oral solid dosage, laboratory and sterile areas.
See turnkey pharmaceutical projects and the facility portfolio.
Process equipment. We design, supply and qualify the machines that make the product.
For tablets and capsules this covers granulation, drying, blending, coating and capsule filling, from lab and pilot units to complete production lines.
For sterile products we supply vial and ampoule filling lines and PFS (prefilled syringe) lines. See pharmaceutical process equipment.
Water. We design, supply and qualify the complete water system for a plant: purified water, WFI (water for injection) and pure steam.
This includes the storage tanks, the distribution loops, and the CIP and SIP skids (units that clean and sterilise equipment in place). One team does the whole job, from raw-water analysis to qualification.
Clean air. We design and build cleanrooms, and we supply the clean-air equipment inside them.
This covers air handling units, laminar airflow units, air showers, pass boxes, sampling and dispensing booths, and isolators for potent and sterile handling. Fabtech makes its own cleanroom panels.
In the Amneal project in the USA, our scope included 21,648 square metres of panels. See cleanroom and clean-air solutions and the purpose of isolators.
Fabtech has a manufacturing footprint of 30,000 square metres. The page on Fabtech's manufacturing capability says more about it.
We build plants and systems to cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice). We design them to meet the inspection expectations of the USFDA (United States), the MHRA (United Kingdom), the TGA (Australia) and the WHO.
Each project goes through DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ against an agreed URS (user requirement specification). These are the four stages of qualification.
We test the equipment by FAT/SAT: first at the factory where it is built, then again on site. Regulators inspect and approve plants.
Rooms and systems are qualified and validated. They are never "certified by" a regulator.

Who we are
We're a biopharma engineering company. We are a small but essential part of the large life sciences industry. We bring together our customers, partners, industry thought leaders, regulators and governments. This is how we have a greater impact and carry out our mission.
We judge our work by the number of lives it reaches. The count so far is 200 million+ lives impacted. Two ideas guide the work. You can see both in how we run a project.
Change agents
We envision a future where no one dies because they didn't have access to life-saving medicines. In practice, this means we build the ability to make medicines where there is little or none. Most of our export work is this.
Enablers
We bring together companies whose strengths fit together. We do this most in markets where local capability is limited. We also connect our customers with each other so that they can share knowledge.
Fabtech also publishes its view of where the industry is going. This view is called Fabtech 4.0. It covers climate-resilient plants (plants built to cope with climate change) and the manufacture of advanced therapies.
Where we work
Fabtech is an export house. We work for customers across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Europe and the Americas. Projects delivered under the Fabtech name include facilities in Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malta, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, the UAE and the United States. The facility portfolio lists them by region. Each country has its own list under Fabtech projects by country.
In total, Fabtech has delivered 760+ global projects and 2000+ installations in 65+ countries. In Sri Lanka, our customers include Navesta Pharmaceuticals and Synergy Pharmaceutical Corporation. In Bangladesh, they include Incepta Pharma, Essential Drugs (EDCL), Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Navana Pharmaceutical and Colgate-Palmolive ACI Bangladesh.
Some places have a page of their own: the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Africa, Algeria, Egypt and Nigeria.
We design each export plant for its destination from the start. Four things change the design: the regulator who will inspect the plant, the electrical supply frequency, the language of the documents and the local construction standard. Changing these later is expensive.
