In April 2023, the research-driven company Boehringer Ingelheim opened a development center for biopharmaceutical drugs at its Biberach site. Drees & Sommer joined the ongoing project in 2020, and will continue to provide support beyond its completion. 

The main focus of the project was on establishing development and control laboratories, production units, and a logistics area. The client asked Drees & Sommer to support overall project management through a Project Management Office (PMO). 

Based on a 360-degree project analysis, the team developed recommended courses of action and assisted with their implementation. Following rapid successes, Boehringer Ingelheim progressively commissioned a range of additional management services, including construction supervision, commissioning, qualification and pending issues management.
