Global Network | Bioxcellence | Boehringer Ingelheim

Our development and production network spans across the globe

Our services are available to partners worldwide. Our locations on three continents offer state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, as well as the expert knowledge to help our partners make the most of them. We constantly invest in both capacity and capability.

Biberach is where our Boehringer Ingelheim BioXcellence™ story began, and is still the launch site for almost all of our customer commercial products. Today, it is Europe’s largest multi-product mammalian cell culture plant, with two large-scale manufacturing facilities and a pilot plant.

The only site in our network offering both microbial and mammalian technology, Vienna’s new Large Scale Cell Culture (LSCC) facility has a flexible total mammalian capacity of 135,000 L. Its leading-edge efficiency is driven by smart technologies and artificial intelligence.

Our mammalian technology plant in California is ideal for large-scale parallel projects, with two flexible cell culture and purification trains (2,000 L and 15,000 L).

Our site in Shanghai is part of the global biopharmaceuticals manufacturing network and was the first multinational commercial mammalian cell culture facility in China. cGMP compliant, it is flexible and fully disposable, offering scale-out and scale-up capabilities.
