fill/finish assemblies into our BioPure puresu® brand. As part of this rebrand, asepticsu™
assembly will be moving from our Falmouth, UK facility to our Dunsbury Park, UK location (withfuture plans for our new Devens, MA, USA facility).

Engineering: Ringsted, Denmark
Production: Falmouth, UK

Engineering & Production: Dunsbury Park, UK
Production: Devens, MA, USA (future)Dunsbury Park will become our primary center of engineering for all single-use assembly
supply, including upstream, downstream and fill/finish applications. This move will support theevolution of our fill/finish offering allowing for additional customization, the expansion offeatures and components, as well as the inclusion of additional validation and test services.
Dunsbury Park runs an equivalent QMS program and sterility program compared to Falmouth.
There will be no change to the assembly configuration or manufacturing location /supply of any
sub-component (i.e., the exact same components will be used under puresu as in asepticsu).
