Description

SPEC has supported Pharm Eco Labs (now Johnson Matthey Pharmaceuticals Services), dating back to 1994 when SPEC renovated the client’s first Pilot Scale manufacturing facility in N. Andover, MA. This facility is still operational and SPEC has supported its ongoing operations.


Project

As the company grew and required additional facilities, SPEC master planned The JMPS facility in Devens, MA in 1998. After completion of the 1st phase of construction JMPS (at that time Pharm ECO Labs) occupied approximately ½ of the three available wings constructed. Phase 1 included corporate offices, research, development labs, QA/QC labs and a central utilities plant, and shell / core work creating the basis for the campus that exists today.

Over the course of the last 5 years SPEC has designed and completed construction of numerous capital improvement projects at this site. Most recently SPEC designed, constructed, commissioned and supported the completion of two manufacturing suites for API’s. This project included upgraded utilities to support the manufacturing requirements.
