Schering-Plough – Multi-Product Plants, Singapore

Project

This Multi-Product Plant (MPP) is a primary production facility to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients for new Schering-Plough products including Zetia®, a cholesterol absorption inhibitor. This facility is the key commercial bulk production site for this compound for the worldwide market.

Faithful+Gould was appointed for two multi-product plants, in 2000 and 2002 - MPP1 and MPP2 respectively, as project controls consultants, to provide fully integrated project controls services.
