Internal and external engineering teams and the construction workers are doing an excellent job.

As for the months to come, the building as such is planned to be completed in September 2021, followed by the manufacturing equipment and process utilities to be installed by Q3/2021. Biomay and its staff will move to the new site at the end of this year. After commissioning and qualification, the company will start up manufacturing operations for its clients in Q1/2022.
