Startup Industrialisation Studies

FORTIL is an engineering design firm specialised in manufacturing industries, notably the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and fine chemicals sectors. We assist companies with the industrialisation of their R&D & pilot scale processes from the development of an industrial scale vision and client requirements through feasibility studies to managing construction of their final facility. We develop CAPEX & OPEX estimates as well as overall project plannings for clients to present to their board or investors. With dedicated departments in Process, Clean Rooms, Laboratories, Utilities, HVAC, Electricity and Construction, we provide an A to Z vision of industrialisation requirements. Examples of key aspects taken into account for startup industrialisation include: 1) The process (production zone, capacity, process flows); 2) Layouts; 3) Equipment Requirements; 4) Applicable Regulations; 5) Quality Requirements; 6) Resources Requirements; 7) Key Philosophies (Automation, Cleaning, Sterilisation, subcontracting); 8) Utility Requirements; 9) Waste Handling Requirements; 10) Security Requirements. FORTIL provides an overall vision to new startups on the costs and timelines associated with their potential industrialisation with a flexible list of deliverables based on client requirements.
