At UPM, we have robust processes and technologies in place for safe [commercial-scale](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/commercial-manufacturing-services), high-potent [drug product manufacturing](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/formulation-and-analytical-development). ![](https://www.upm-inc.com/hubfs/UPM466/other%20images/11_UPM_PMA_800_Granulation044.jpg) ### High Potency Compounds Many small-molecule APIs in the pharmaceutical pipeline today have increased potency. These compounds can affect workers and the environment at very low concentration levels and therefore require [special equipment](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/technology-transfer-and-scale-up-support) and handling capabilities to ensure proper containment and prevent their release into the air. UPM Pharmaceuticals has the capability to process potent compound development to commercial quantities. Potent compounds manufacturing takes place in glove boxes with tabletop equipment at bench scale and moves up to compound-dedicated suites with appropriate airflow controls and outfitted with the necessary full-scale containment equipment. #### High-Potent Drug Product Manufacturing Capabilities - Additional facility controls such as segregated areas, dedicated air handlers. - Enclosures such as Dover, hoods, and isolation boxes - Additional employee controls such as Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPRs) ### Your CDMO Partner in High-Potent Drug Product Manufacturing If you are searching for a high-potent drug manufacturing partner, please [contact us](https://www.upm-inc.com/contact) online today. - [ Semi-Solid Handling ](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/semi-solids-handling) - [ Solid Dose Handling ](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/solid-dose-handling) - [ High-Potent Handling ](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/high-potent-handling) - [ Controlled Substance Handling ](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/controlled-substance-handling) - [ Sustained-Release Tablet Handling ](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/sustained-release-handling) - [ Microbiological Testing Lab Services ](https://www.upm-inc.com/) ### Where We'll Be Next DCAT Week New York, NY March 23-26, 2020 Booth #537 [ SCHEDULE A MEETING ](https://www-upm-inc-com.sandbox.hs-sites.com/contact) The Definitive Guide: 32 Ways to Avoid Project Delays [Read it now](https://www.upm-inc.com/resources/32-ways-to-avoid-project-development-delays-new) Download our recent presentation [View PDF](https://www.upm-inc.com/hubfs/Documents%20(PDFs)/2023_UPM%20PHARMACEUTICALS_deck.pdf) See our newly updated equipment list [View PDF](https://www.upm-inc.com/hubfs/obx-pdfs/UPM%20Pharmaceuticals_Equipment%20Capable%20List-0323.pdf) [#### Specialized Handling Capabilities ### Controlled Substance Handling MORE ](https://www-upm-inc-com.sandbox.hs-sites.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/controlled-substance-handling) [#### Specialized Handling Capabilities ### Sustained-Release Tablet Handling MORE ](https://www-upm-inc-com.sandbox.hs-sites.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/sustained-release-handling) ## Related Articles [![The Capabilities of UPM Pharmaceuticals as a High-Potent Drug Product Manufacturing Partner](https://www.upm-inc.com/hubfs/OBX%20Content%20Wheels%202021/content-wheel-our-capabilities-as-a-generic-drug-manufacturer.jpg) Our Capabilities as a Generic Drug Manufacturer ](https://www.upm-inc.com/generic-drug-manufacturer) [![Trends in Oral Solid Dose Pharmaceutical Development](https://www.upm-inc.com/hubfs/OBX%20Content%20Wheels%202021/content-wheel-over-the-counter-contract-manufacturing.jpg) Trends in Oral Solid Dose Pharmaceutical Development: What’s Next? ](https://www.upm-inc.com/oral-solid-dose-trends) [![](https://www.upm-inc.com/hubfs/UPM466/UPM_Logo_Horz_ko.svg)](https://www.upm-inc.com/) UPM Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 501 5th Street Bristol, TN 37620 - - [Home](https://www.upm-inc.com) - [About UPM](https://www.upm-inc.com/who-we-are/about-upm-pharmaceuticals) - [Virtual Tour](https://www.upm-inc.com/virtual-tour-of-upm-pharmaceuticals) - - [Commercial Manufacturing](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/commercial-manufacturing-services) - [Technology Transfer & Scale-Up Support](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/technology-transfer-and-scale-up-support) - [Quality & Regulatory Support](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/quality-and-regulatory-support) - [Formulation & Analytical Development](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/formulation-and-analytical-development) - [Packaging & Warehousing](https://www.upm-inc.com/manufacturing-services/packaging-and-warehousing) - - [Semi-Solids Handling](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/semi-solids-handling) - [Solid Dose Handling](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/solid-dose-handling) - [High-Potent Handling](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/high-potent-handling) - [Controlled Substance Handling](https://www.upm-inc.com/specialized-handling-capabilities/controlled-substance-handling) - - [Commercial Facility](https://www.upm-inc.com/commercial-manufacturing-facility) - [News & Media](https://www.upm-inc.com/news-and-media) - [Careers](https://www.upm-inc.com/careers) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.upm-inc.com/privacy) - [Sitemap](https://www.upm-inc.com/site-map) Contact UPM [+1 423 989 8000](tel:+1%20423%20989%208000) [info@upm-inc.com](mailto:info@upm-inc.com?Subject=General%20Inquiry) ©2025 UPM Pharmaceuticals.
