Spokane, Washington, U.S.A. March 15, 2010 - Jubilant Organosys, a leading integrated pharma and life sciences company headquartered in India, announced today that two of its contract manufacturing facilities in North America successfully completed regulatory authority cGMP audits, recently. HollisterStier Contract Manufacturing, based in Spokane Washington, U.S.A, completed a successful audit by the Japanese Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Agency (PMDA) for the review of a sterile injectable client product. Draxis Pharma, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, also completed a successful audit by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada.

HollisterStier

The audit by the Japanese Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Agency (PMDA) revealed no significant observations, which has resulted in a recommendation to the MHLW that Hollister-Stier be listed as an approved manufacturing site for the client's product. Independent of the PMDA audit, the HollisterStier facility was also recently approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as a manufacturing site for this same product.

Draxis Pharma

The audit of Draxis Pharma by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) included a comprehensive cGMP review of both sterile parenteral and non-sterile semi-solid manufacturing capabilities and a Pre-Approval Inspection for three client products. No observations were received from this audit. Recommendations for site approvals for the three new client products are expected. The audit of Draxis Pharma by Health Canada focused on a cGMP review of a dedicated packaging capability and revealed no significant audit observations.

Marcelo Morales, CEO of HollisterStier Contract Manufacturing and Draxis Pharma, said "We are extremely pleased with the audit findings at both our HollisterStier and Draxis Pharma facilities. Maintaining a rigorous quality culture and robust quality systems, combined with effectively managing our clients' projects, assures the success of these projects in the global market place."
