Work where the record matters

Ergopharm began in 2005 as a small analytical laboratory in Vadodara, Gujarat. Manufacturing followed in 2006, sterile fill-finish was qualified in-house in 2012, and an oral solid-dose facility was added in 2017. Today more than eight hundred people work on the site, producing 27 prescription monographs — 13 ampoule presentations and 14 tablet presentations — for licensed distributors in more than forty export markets. Everything we make is prescription-only, every carton has been serialised since 2019, and every batch is released against a written specification. That shapes the work: it is deliberate, documented and reviewed, and it suits people who would rather be right than quick. We hire at every level, from operators entering a cleanroom for the first time to specialists with two decades in aseptic processing, and we train against the standards our customers audit us to.

Why Ergopharm

Work that is verifiable

Nothing here rests on assertion. Analytical methods are validated to ICH Q2 principles, stability is run to ICH Q1A(R2) conditions, computerised systems follow EU GMP Annex 11 expectations, and records are kept to ALCOA+. If a statement appears in a batch record, a dossier or a certificate of analysis, there is data behind it — and that is the standard we hold ourselves to internally, not only when someone is watching.

Two technologies under one quality system

Sterile fill-finish has been qualified in-house since 2012 and oral solid dose since 2017. Both sit under a single pharmaceutical quality system built on ICH Q10, with shared QC laboratories and one release authority. Analysts, engineers and QA staff gain exposure to aseptic processing and to granulation, compression and coating, rather than being confined to one line for a career.

Training that is assessed, not assumed

Aseptic operators qualify through gowning assessment and take part in routine media-fill process simulations before working on a filling line. QC analysts are trained and assessed on each technique — HPLC, GC, dissolution, KF titration, compendial microbiology — before independent working. Training is a documented, periodically re-assessed competency record that follows you across the site, not an induction week.

Unusually broad export exposure

We have exported across Asia and the Middle East since 2013 and into European markets since 2015, and serialised the whole portfolio in 2019. Staff work daily with GS1 identifiers and DataMatrix ECC200 coding, aggregation to SSCC, EPCIS event data, GDP-compliant storage and shipping, and Incoterms 2020 documentation. Few single sites give this range of practical experience.

A stable site, not a churn shop

Regulated manufacturing rewards continuity, and we staff for it: permanent contracts for core roles, internal promotion as the first option for supervisory posts, shift patterns published in advance, canteen and transport provision, and medical surveillance for personnel working in classified areas. Several of our department heads joined as officers or analysts.
