With LBP\u2019s strong skills within process engineering, tests and qualification and Artelia\u2019s wide range of multidisciplinary qualifications, we have created a pharma division that is among the greatest in the Danish market.<\/p>\n<\/div>

“When we joined forces with Artelia, our focus was on continuing to deliver services in the market we were used to. At the same time, we saw a synergy in working with Artelia\u2019s specialists within ventilation, fire<\/em>
\nsafety and building installations as well as structures. LBP previously had to buy these services from other consultants.

\nThe ambitions go further than the merger, even though our pharma division is among the largest in the market to cover the entire spectrum of consultancy to the medical and biotech industry. The dream is to be able to bid on more and larger projects that cover the entire range of consultancy from concept to execution \u2013 and the drive is there. Since LBP was founded in 2004, the company has experienced strong and solid growth of 10-15% per year and has been awarded the Gazelle Prize for being among the fastest growing companies several times.<\/p>\nOur strength is that we have a lot of knowhow regarding pharma and a close relation to our clients. We aim at providing focused consultancy adjusted to each client\u2019s needs. After the merger with Artelia, we have been able to develop and strengthen these relations further. We have gained more than 1,000 new Danish colleagues with qualifications within a wide range of disciplines which will also benefit our clients,<\/em> says Lars.<\/p>\nThe pharma industry’s specific demands<\/strong>
\nLBP has specialised in the specific requirements within the pharma industry \u2013 that is, everything from cleanrooms and supply facilities to production equipment. In the pharma industry, a room is not just a room. Everything must be taken into consideration, from entrance gates to supply roads and connections such as pure steam, sterile gases and water for injection (WFI), which are just some of the requirements that must be met in connection with firstclass production of medicinal products.<\/p>\nA typical example of a pharma project could be a new production machine that must be connected at the client\u2019s facilities. It often requires very special sterile conditions which presupposes that production flow
\nand design are thought out and live up to the specific requirements. Usually, pharma productions consist of closed processes with no human contact to the product. All in all, the facilities require a layout that is prepared in detail, and the division therefore also has process architects who are specialised in designing optimal production flows and accommodating complex needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>
