Pharmaceutical packaging-line sourcing for France
LIFA coordinated equipment testing and qualification for a French pharmaceutical packaging line, achieving first-time qualification and 98% initial efficiency.
- The buyer
- A Lyon, France pharmaceutical manufacturer expanding two production lines.
- The product scope
- Pharmaceutical packaging lines; blister lines, labeling, and cartoning. Program value $6.6M.
What needed to change?
GMP qualification requires validated equipment documentation; the prior line failed validation twice, delaying a product launch by 5 months.
How LIFA managed the work
We qualified 2 line manufacturers with GMP validation experience.
We managed FAT and SAT with full documentation.
We coordinated IQ/OQ/PQ qualification with the quality team.
We provided operator training and spare-parts packages.
GMP qualification passed first time; 98% line efficiency in quarter 1; the product launch met its regulatory date; a third line was ordered.

What this project shows
Factory tests, site tests and qualification documents needed an agreed sequence. The buyer's quality team remained central to acceptance of the line.
