Modular planning of pharmaceutical and biotechnological production processes

More flexibility in your production process for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and biotechnological products with Glatt Process & Plant Engineering Pharma+Biotech. At Glatt, modularity is a fundamental mindset for a holistic planning approach for all areas: Process and technology planning, layout development, media planning as well as building and site master planning. Holistic modular planning is considered with a dual focus: in relation to the technology/process and in relation to the building/building technology. What is important here is a concentrated interplay between the specialist trades of both focal points and a systematic approach.

Modular design for more flexibility in your production process by Glatt Process & Plant Engineering Pharma+Biotech

Improve efficiency and safe time by a systematic and modular approach

Are you planning to invest in a project for the production and processing of pharmaceutical OSD and/or liquid dosage forms, biotech products like biotechnological API and blood plasma products or chemical API synthesis?

Compared to a classic project approach, the advantages of a modular solution are obvious:

  • shorter project lead times for the planning and construction of your new production facility
  • faster expansion of your existing production
  • accelerated conversion of your existing facilities and premises

As with our classic planning approach, our modular planning also follows the principle: “Process first. Planning from the inside out”. We design efficient processes for your mono-product and multi-purpose production facility.

In general, a modular approach is possible for all planning considerations and in all project-relevant disciplines. This opportunity to apply the modular approach exists in all project phases, even in the concept phase of your project.

Modular considerations for your project usually start with the smallest functional units, through rooms and overall functional areas, overall functions, the entire building and site master plans including expansion options.


Even more flexibility with train concepts

Our modular approach allows efficient and flexible future redesign and expansion of your processes and the entire production process.

With Dedicated Train concepts like the Hybrid Train and Cluster Train, we will find a suitable train solution for your application.

You benefit from:

  • possibility of modular expansion of production capacity
  • reduction of pre-gates to the production area
  • reduction in planning and construction costs
  • reduction in qualification costs
  • simple and efficient expandability during ongoing operation
  • clear and separate material flows
  • product allocation of production personnel
  • cleaning systems with maximum protection against cross-contamination


We implement modularity for you in the form of train concepts.
