Last week, our TRAIN Academy participants had the opportunity to visit Octapharma’s production site in Springe, near Hannover. Octapharma is the world’s largest manufacturer of human proteins.
The family-run company has made significant investments in its Springe site in recent years, now employing a total of 800 people 👩🏭 👨💼 👩🔬 🏢 We were given fascinating insights into the company’ operations and learned a lot about the areas of quality management and production 💡 🦾 🧪 🔬
A special highlight of our visit was a guided tour through the clean room production facility. For this, we passed through a security gate and put on special protective clothing. This is very important to ensure that the products manufactured are not contaminated. The Octapharma team provided detailed explanations of the various production steps and the challenges they face, bringing us closer to the specifics of their work 🧪 👨🔬
The Octapharma team gave us a warm welcome, answered numerous questions from our participants and took a lot of time to give us an in-depth insight into the company’s work. We would like to thank all Octapharma employees who made this day possible for us and especially Carina Ossig and Celin Sondermann for their exceptional organization, making this visit both educational and memorable 👏 👍 😊
We are sure that this excursion will leave a lasting impression on our participants and we think that it is a great addition to our TRAIN Academy program ✨ 🏫 👏
