The manufacturing site of Sintenovo S.A. de C.V. is located in the industrial area of Jiutepec, some 95 km south of Mexico City.
With a highly functional and compact design, the main workshop provides 140 m³ of reaction volume to manufacture APIs and NCEs from their early scale-up stage (pilot plant) to the industrial scale, with an intermediate semi-industrial scale.
An actual workforce of 178 people at the Jiutepec manufacturing site provides the human resources required to support all manufacturing and operational activities. The main capabilities of the site are:
