Cinfa Group Unveils Its New Manufacturing Plant to Strengthen Its Commitment with Accessible Care
The European pharmaceutical company Cinfa, with a 55-year history, has launched its new manufacturing plant in Spain, Neo, built with advanced 4.0 technology and a 44 million dollars investment.
The new manufacturing plant will enable Cinfa to double its annual production capacity to provide patients worldwide with quality treatments, developed and manufactured in Spain.
“These new facilities are a reflection of our commitment to ensure that patients have access to the quality medicines they need,” said Enrique Ordieres, President of Cinfa Group.
The company, which has invested 474 million dollars in R&D and infrastructure over the past decade, will initially dedicate the new manufacturing plant to the production of 15 medications for the treatment of highly prevalent diseases such as hypertension, which affects approximately 33% of adults in the Middle East and North Africa1.
Industry 4.0 and energy efficiency
The new Cinfa building is based on the concept of ‘Industry 4.0’ or ‘smart factory.’ This means that all production systems operate in a digital, integrated, and automated manner, tailored to the needs of each medication and its manufacturing stages. Additionally, the Group has implemented a vertical production system, enhancing processes, increasing manufacturing capacity, and strengthening quality and prevention standards.
The Neo plant has been designed with maximum energy efficiency in mind, aligning with Cinfa’s environmental sustainability policy, which focuses on optimal use of natural resources and effective waste management. Thanks to this policy, Cinfa Group has successfully reduced its carbon footprint intensity by 57% over the past four years. “Sustainability and caring for our environment are priorities, and all business decisions incorporate environmental considerations” highlighted Enrique Ordieres.
Among other measures, the manufacturing plant features thermal energy recovery systems and a 1,900 m² photovoltaic installation, an expansion of the solar park Cinfa launched in 2020, which now spans 15,000 m²—equivalent to twelve Olympic swimming pools.
2 million donated to social causes
Cinfa has also donated over 2 million euros to support social initiatives for the last 3 years, reinforcing its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the 2030 Agenda, with a particular focus on improving healthcare access for vulnerable communities.
