Himalaya Wellness has broken ground for its upcoming state-of-the-art herbal pharmaceutical factory that will produce tablets, capsules, liquid orals, and ointments at Dubai Industrial City.
Phase one of the factory will be delivered across a built-up area of 225,000 sq. ft. Worth $54.4 million (AED 200 million), the plant will have an annual production capacity of 3 billion tablets, 15 million syrup bottles, and three million units of ointment, with the facility’s capacity being set up to serve global volumes till 2030.
The Himalaya Wellness factory will be built in compliance with the European Medicine Agency’s GMP guidelines and World Health Organisation and United States Food and Drug Administration standards and meet the local Ministry of Health and Prevention’s regulations.
Commencing works on the Dubai Industrial City factory marks an extension of Himalaya Wellness’ commitment to Dubai and the TECOM Group ecosystem. The group, founded in India in 1930, operates a global research and development (R&D) centre spanning 92,000 sq. ft. at Dubai Science Park. This holistic science-focused business community is part of TECOM Group and a sister district of Dubai Industrial City.
The Himalaya Wellness factory will work closely with the Dubai Science Park Centre, allowing Himalaya’s talent at both locations to collaborate in new product development, product stability, scale-up activities, and technology transfer.
The factory is aligned with Himalaya Wellness’ plans to establish Dubai as its sourcing hub for the GCC, Middle East, and region markets, in addition to serving customers in the US, Europe, and select Asia Pacific countries shortly. Expanding capacity is expected to help the company introduce the latest technologies and provide products at competitive prices to its global customer network.
The latest technology for manufacturing, filling, and packing pharmaceutical products will be installed at the facility, with several warehousing operations to be automated to enhance efficiencies. High-quality materials and fixtures will be used during construction, and solar energy and water recycling will be enabled at the factory.
