"This is an exciting time for our company,"
remarked James G. Schleck, JFC Technologies President
and CEO. "Along with our partner company, Omniglow
Corporation, we have been operating in China for over
two years now. We have designed, built, and are now operating
two facilities that support our industrial fine chemical
business. This new facility will enable us to provide
the most cost effective support to our pharmaceutical
customers as well." |

The facility is specially designed to be compliant with
the International Conference on Harmonization's (ICH)
Q7A guidelines, and to have great flexibility for producing
commercial scale API's. The primary production area will
consist of isolated production suites with separate air
handling and extended temperature capabilities. The equipment
will range in the 500 gallon to 1,500 gallon scale. "This
will be an excellent complement to our US facilities.
We will be able to support products throughout their entire
life cycle," stated JFC's Board Chairman, James R. Schleck,
also present for the ceremony. |

JFC Technologies hired the China Development Group (CDG)
for advisory and consulting support services related to
the project. "JFC Technologies is clearly embracing China
as a platform for growth and success. The world-wide pharmaceutical
industry is coming under intense pressure to reduce costs.
The highly educated workforce of Ningbo, and the low operating
cost structure of China will assure continuing success
for JFC Technologies," said Cheng Guo, President of China
Development Group. |
