GMP-certified pharmaceutical laboratory site in Münster

At WESSLING, part of ALS Limited, the thrust of our analysis and consulting for pharmaceuticals and medical products along with our service portfolio is international. WESSLING is therefore also a partner to pharmaceutical manufactures whose markets lie outside of Europe:

  • The laboratory in Münster works according to GMP standards
  • Our pharmaceutical site holds a manufacturing permit according to Section 13 of the German Pharmaceuticals Act (AMG) and an EU import permit
  • Our pharmaceutical laboratory in Münster is inspected by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). As a result, we are also an analysis partner to customers who are operating in the US market
  • The close cooperation between our experts means combined capacities and know-how for our customers, resulting in on-time processing - even of larger orders or those for express analysis
