The GMPLEX™ Growth Pathway lets you start lean, scale confidently, and graduate into your own space without ever losing the support of the GMPLEX™ campus.
Launch production through GMPLEX™ as your contract development and manufacturing partner — no capex, no facility build, no qualification programme of your own.
Ideal for early-stage companies, first-in-human products and market entrants that need GMP supply without the capital burden of a dedicated facility. We manage the validation, quality system and regulatory interface while you retain your IP and product strategy.
Move into a right-sized GMP module configured, qualified and operationalised around your process and regulatory pathway.
A dedicated module is designed to your process requirements — cleanroom grade, HVAC, utilities, environmental monitoring and documentation — all qualified under the GMPLEX™ quality system and ready for your batches.
Run controlled manufacturing in an independently serviced module with its own airlocks, HVAC, EMS, BMS and utilities. Your process, your IP, your quality system.
Operate with operational independence while remaining part of the GMPLEX™ campus. Your team controls batch release, deviations and change control, supported by shared utilities, calibration and campus-wide compliance.
Add adjacent modules, services and capacity as clinical and commercial demand increases — without disrupting neighbouring tenants.
Scale horizontally with additional modules, packaging lines, stability storage or analytical support. Expansion is modular and fast because the infrastructure backbone is already qualified and live.
Progress to your own dedicated footprint while staying plugged into the GMPLEX™ backbone — backup manufacturing house, warehousing and cold rooms remain available.
Graduate from tenancy to ownership on the same campus. Even with your own building, you retain access to backup manufacturing, warehousing, cold rooms and the technical ecosystem, so scale never outruns support.
The compliant infrastructure is built once and shared. Tenants keep full operational independence, and even after moving into their own space they retain access to the campus backup house, warehousing and cold rooms.
Retain surge and contingency capacity through GMPLEX™ modules and our CDMO network, so a single line outage never stops supply.
GMP-compliant storage, picking and Australia-wide distribution scaled to your batch volumes, without leasing your own warehouse.
Monitored 2–8 °C and controlled-temperature cold rooms with continuous EMS logging for cold-chain products and reference retains.
Purified water, clean utilities, waste, calibration and servicing maintained once across the campus and shared by every tenant.
Design, validation, engineering, quality and regulatory specialists already qualified on the campus and available on demand.
Shared compliance backbone lowers capex and opex while GMP separation is preserved where operations require it.
A clear, staged onboarding so you know exactly what happens between first conversation and first compliant batch.
We map your product, volumes and timeline against the available GMP modules, CDMO capacity and shared services.
You receive a costed pathway proposal with module allocation, quality responsibilities and a staged commercial model.
Quality agreements, documentation and tech transfer run in parallel with module fit-out and equipment qualification.
Validation activities complete, release processes go live, and your first batch is manufactured under the GMPLEX™ quality system.
Common questions about onboarding, documentation and GMP compliance before you contact the team.
The first 90 days are structured around scoping, proposal, quality and technical transfer, and first compliant batch. Week 1–2 covers fit and module mapping; Week 3–5 delivers a costed proposal; Week 6–9 runs quality agreements, documentation and tech transfer; Week 10–13 completes validation and the first batch under the GMPLEX™ quality system.
We typically ask for your process description, specifications, bill of materials, analytical methods, existing regulatory dossier and any current quality agreements. The exact list is tailored to your pathway and product type, and we provide a checklist at the start of onboarding.
Change control, deviations, CAPAs and documentation updates are managed through the GMPLEX™ quality system. Partners receive defined interfaces and escalation paths so that changes are assessed, approved and closed with full traceability and audit readiness.
Yes. The first commercial or registration batch is manufactured under full GMP once module qualification, method transfer and required validation are complete. Earlier engineering or trial batches are clearly separated and labelled in the project plan.
Not initially. Under OUTSOURCE and COLLABORATE, GMPLEX™ carries the quality unit and release responsibility. Under OPERATE you lead the module with GMPLEX™ Process quality systems behind you. Under CONTROL you hold your own authorisations, supported by the campus infrastructure and defined quality interfaces.
Answers to the most common questions about moving from CDMO to your own module, using the shared backbone, and getting started.
GMPLEX™ offers four manufacturing pathways that let you start where you are and scale as you grow. OUTSOURCE: we manufacture for you under our licence and quality system. COLLABORATE: you own the product and process while we provide the people, systems and oversight. OPERATE: you lead your dedicated module on campus with GMPLEX™ process quality systems and shared services behind you. CONTROL: you run your own qualified module and quality system, supported by the campus infrastructure. Move between pathways as your process, volume and maturity evolve.
The right pathway depends on where you are in your product lifecycle, how much control you want, and how ready your organisation is to hold GMP responsibility. Early-stage companies and those validating their process often start with OUTSOURCE or COLLABORATE. As volumes become predictable and teams grow, partners move into OPERATE or CONTROL. We map your process, volumes and regulatory position to a recommended pathway during our first technical call.
Yes. The pathways are designed as a continuum. Because the quality system, utilities and campus infrastructure stay consistent, moving from OUTSOURCE to COLLABORATE, OPERATE or CONTROL is treated as a controlled change within the same GMPLEX™ ecosystem rather than a site transfer. This protects your regulatory filings and supply continuity while you scale.
The backup house is surge and contingency manufacturing capacity retained on the GMPLEX™ campus. Use it when your own line is down, demand spikes, or you need a second-source batch without qualifying a new contract manufacturer. Access is reserved for pathway partners and tenants on agreed terms, and it remains available after you move into your own GMP space.
Most partners start with GMPLEX™ warehousing and distribution: GMP-compliant ambient storage, quarantine, release, picking and Australia-wide distribution. You only take on your own warehouse when your volume makes it economical, and you can keep using GMPLEX™ warehousing as backup or overflow after you do.
Validated cold rooms (2–8 °C and controlled-temperature options) are part of the shared backbone. Tenants and owned-space partners book space by pallet or shelf with continuous environmental monitoring and alarm escalation, so you do not need to build and qualify your own cold-chain storage early on.
Most partners reach commercial supply through the OUTSOURCE pathway within 12–18 months of signing, depending on technology transfer and validation. Moving into COLLABORATE, OPERATE or your own CONTROL module usually follows once the process is stable and demand predictable, often in the 24–36 month range, and the timeline flexes either way.
No. Because the quality system, utilities and campus infrastructure stay consistent, moving from OUTSOURCE to COLLABORATE, OPERATE or CONTROL is treated as a controlled change within the same GMPLEX™ ecosystem rather than a site transfer. Filings and supply continuity are managed through the same quality unit and change-control process.
Yes. Scale never outruns support. Even after you graduate to your own building you retain access to the backup manufacturing house, warehousing, cold rooms, shared utilities and the campus technical ecosystem on commercial terms.
The campus is built for oral solid dose and related non-sterile forms, with capability from pilot and scale-up batches through to commercial production runs, plus packaging and serialisation-ready finishing. Talk to us about your dosage form and volumes and we will map them to the right pathway.
Send an enquiry through the contact form with your product type, target volumes and timing. A short technical call follows, then we issue an indicative pathway and pricing outline. To move to proposal we typically need your process description, specifications, bill of materials and any existing regulatory dossier under confidentiality.
