Welcome to Mission Impossible – WuXi Bio Speed in Germany

Andreas Meszner was one of the first employees at WuXi Biologics in Germany. There were just 13 operators in the team when he took over as Engineer Department Head of Manufacturing Operations in October 2020. His mission was clear, but also full of challenges. The task was to make the site in Leverkusen ready for Read more COVID-19 vaccine filling “as soon as possible”. This included not only setting up the Manufacturing groups for formulation, filling, visual inspection and packaging, but also creating the Support Units Material Management, GMP Documentation Management, Production Management and Technical Support, which are also part of the Manufacturing Operations department.
From February to October 2021, the headcount in Leverkusen rose by 1350 percent due to the COVID-19 vaccine filling activities. For the company, it was clear from the beginning and the top priority to make a contribution to combating the pandemic situation and help the population in Germany and the European Union to return to their normal lives. After nine months, the team had already reached commercial production, having obtained the GMP license in July 2021.
